Audi R15 TDI at dusk during 2011 Sebring 12 Hours

The 12 Hours of Sebring 2011 was held Saturday, March 19th at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. The 59th annual 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, the first event on the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) calendar, offered exciting racing and ended with an unexpected winner. Although a tight battle between the Audi R15 TDI and Peugeot 908 works teams was expected, in the end it was the privately entered, older Peugeot 908 HDi of Oreca Racing that crossed the finish line first. Throughout the twelve hours there were constant changes in leaders, not only for the overall position but also in the many classes. In the Grand Touring (GT) class BMW was victorious, narrowly beating contenders Corvette and Ferrari.
