Sebring 12-Hour Endurance Race -- March 27, 1965

Source: "Official Records for the Florida International Grand Prix of Endurance March 25, 26, 27, 1965 for the Alitalia Cup", Published by Shell Oil Company for the Auto Racing Club of Florida with cover letter introduction dated May 13, 1965 by Joseph J. Lane, Jr., Chief Timer and Scorer. Uncopyrighted.

[Note non-running finishers classified 34th (#26), 37th (#30) and 39th (#9), moving subsequent running finishers down accordingly]

[Retirements during each hour are indicated at the bottom of the relevant column as noted on the official hourly standings chart, which is why the column widths vary.]

[Qualifying positions not reported in the "Official Records" booklet.]

1965 is memorable for the deluge which flooded the track with a reported 5" of rain in half an hour at about 7 1/2 hours into the race (5:25 PM) and lap times plummet for about the next two hours. The winning Chaparral sat in the pits for about 15 minutes at 7:50 race time to let the flood subside.

If you see a car number link (they're set off by hyphens) it will take you to a separate chart of the car's lap times, bookmarked to the hour selected. So far there aren't many. It's a lot of data entry!
