On June 14, race fans gathered at Sebring International Raceway for a high-octane Le Mans Watch Party hosted by the Automobile Racing Club of Florida (ARCF) and ACO USA. With livestream coverage of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, trackside camaraderie, and a stunning lineup of historic race cars, the event was a true celebration of motorsport heritage.
Among the standout vehicles on display was the 1929 Tracta A, brought by the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum. Known as one of the first front-wheel drive cars to race at Le Mans, the Tracta earned a class win in 1930 and played a pivotal role in early racing innovation. Its sleek design and engineering stood proudly alongside icons like the Porsche 917K, offering attendees a rare glimpse into the roots of endurance racing.
Whether you’re a racing enthusiast or a fan of automotive history, seeing the Tracta up close was a reminder of how far performance engineering has come, and how important it is to preserve the vehicles that paved the way.
