Default Sebring 12hr Race

The race starts in a few minutes time and Acura have so far impressed in LMP2. It will be interesting to see if they have the reliability to finish the race.

LMP2 and GT2 are the classes to watch, the Porsche RS Spyders might be very close to the Audi R10's given the fuel tank restrictions the Audis are carrying this year.

What surprised me is that it took three hours for the first full course caution to happen.

LMP2 is being led 1, 2 & 3 by Acura teams so far. Over eight hours to go though yet.

Very impressive showing thus far for Acura. I had to leave the house, but last I checked, Tony Kanaan in the Acura was in second 9 seconds behind the Audi.
