It just seemed to be Peugeot’s day during the 59th running of the 12 hours of Sebring. Audi had plenty of bad luck, including multiple tire punctures, pit stop problems and even a hit from one of the Peugeots that pushed Dindo Capello off the track. Had they had a bit better luck, or if Peugeot were to have received a fair share of issues I am sure this race would have been much closer. However in the end, the Lions roared loudest and deserve to be proud of their victory. The #10 Peugeot 908 HDI FAP driven to the checkered flag by Nicolas Lapierre earned the top spot on the podium. The Petrol powered HPD ARX-01e from Highcroft Racing driven by Simon Pagenaud took 2nd and the #8 Peugeot driven by Pedro Lamy crossed the line in 3rd place. The best that Audi could do on this day was 4th place where the #2 Audi R15 TDI driven by Tom Kristensen put up some extremely fast time but couldn’t make up for the bad luck.

The Audi R15 TDI has left us with an amazing legacy, including multiple victories at Le Mans and Sebring including a podium sweep at the 2010 running of Le Mans. The Audi R18 is stepping into some pretty big shoes and we expect to see the R18 be competitive throughout the rest of this years ILMC season.

We would like to thank Audi for your hospitality here at Sebring, and to our photographer Johnny Petrina (on loan from APR) who brought us all the amazing photos that you have seen throughout the day. We hope that you have enjoyed our coverage and we look forward to providing you with the same level of up to the minute coverage in June when our team travels to Le Mans!

Expect more pictures to be posted tonight and tomorrow.
