OPTIMA's Ultimate Street Car Series at Sebring

The 2024 season of OPTIMA's Ultimate Street Car series began at Sebring International Raceway in February. Competitors from a surprisingly large radius converged on the warm, welcoming confines of Sebring, seeking opportunities to pick up valuable points and even more valuable invitations to the 2024 OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational. The Speedtech GTV Class had a particularly strong field, which was a trend we saw repeated the following weekend, when the After Dark Speed GTS Class had a particularly strong field.
