The 61st edition of the 12 Hours of Sebring is currently under yellow flag status. There Ferrari Alex Job Racing n°23 hit very hard, shattering the piles of tires and even pushing back the protective wall. The front of the 458 Italia was completely destroyed, but fortunately Bill Sweedler was unhurt. Unfortunately, repairs to the wall may take some time. The car suddenly spun before hitting. Is this due to the contact, a few minutes earlier, with the No. 4 Corvette and having caused a one-minute penalty for the latter?
The two Audis took the opportunity to refuel. And this neutralization once again works in favor of the No. 2 of Allan McNish, who emerged in front of the No. 1 currently at the wheel of Marcel Fässler. Nick Heidfeld (Lola Rebellion n°12) is still third.
Sixth overall, Marino Franchitti is still leading the LM P2 category with the No. 5 HPD Level 551 Motorsports. But the lead over the sister car is tiny.
In GT, the race is still undecided. Westbrook's No. 4 Corvette is in the lead, but will have to submit to the penalty imposed following contact deemed avoidable by the stewards with the No. 23 Ferrari. We should therefore find the Viper GTS-R SRT of Marc Goosens in the lead ahead of the Ferrari 458 of Matteo Malucelli and the BMW Z4 of Jörg Müller.
The LM PC and GTC categories are respectively dominated by Mark Wilkins (Oreca 09 FLM Core Autosport n°05) and Damien Faulkner (Porsche 911 GT3 Cup TRG n°68).
