Since the takeover of the Porsche No. 7 through Felipe Nasr shortly before the halfway point of the 12 Hours of Sebring, the No. 7 Porsche has not loosened its grip on the event. The trio formed by the Brazilian with Nick Tandy and Laurens Vanthoor, winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona at the end of January, were still at the top of the standings for the second round of the 2025 season of theIMSA as the final three hours approached. The German manufacturer's advantage was wiped out, however, as a Full Course Yellow was deployed. Nick Tandy emerged from the pits behind Frederik Vesti (Cadillac No. 31) and ahead of Matt Campbell (Porsche No. 6).
A surreal scene during the final round of stops during this Full Course Yellow, as the #06 Acura ARX-60 collided with a BMW as the two cars were leaving their spots to return to the track. The Japanese prototype's front left wheel was damaged in the process and had to be replaced, resulting in a huge loss of time. Another manufacturer experiencing problems: Lamborghini. The SC63 has been returned to its garage, but has not yet retired.
Disaster for Lilou Wadoux in the GTD category. A few minutes after a scare for her teammate Alessandro Pier Guidi, who went off track, the Frenchwoman was forced to stop at the side of the track at the wheel of the Ferrari 296 GT3 No. 21 of the AF Corse team after seeing smoke coming from its engine less than four hours from the finish. What a shame for the French car, as the trio it formed with the Italian and Simon Mann dominated the GTD category after starting from pole position in this class. With three hours left to race, it is the No. 36 Corvette of DXDT Racing (Yoluc, Udell, Eastwood) which is leading this category.
Crowdstike Racing maintains its lead in LM P2 with George Kurtz, Malthe Jakobsen, and Tobby Sowery. The #3 Ford Mustang GT65 of Dennis Olsen, Christopher Mies, and Frédéric Vervisch, winner at Daytona, leads GTD Pro.
