The situation hardly changed in the rankings during this second hour of the 1000 Miles of Sebring. Both Toyota continue to lead the debates with the n°8 of Sébastien Buemi in front of n°7 of Mike conway

The two Japanese prototypes have a large lead over the Porsche #6 of Laurenes Vanthoor and the #2 Cadillac of Alex Lynn who are engaged in a fierce battle for the podium. THE Ferrari, 5th and 6th, are fighting to get back up after losing a lot of time. The #51 indeed had too long a pit stop while the #50 paid a drive-through for overtaking under Safety Car. 

The Peugeot are relegated to the bottom of the Hypercar category after having encountered several problems since the start of the event.
