TO MY ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN LONG-TIME INTIMATE FRIEND BILL AUBERLEN OF BMW TEAM RLL: Sorry Bill... this time the bragging rights go to your nemesis Nick Tandy and Team Porsche! Still love you though.
In GT Le Mans, the No. 911 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR of Nick Tandy, Patrick Pilet and Frederic Makowiecki took their first Sebring victory, finishing 6.230 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, the No. 25 BMW Team RLL BMW M8 GTLM of Alexander Sims, Connor De Philippi and Bill Auberlen. In third was the No. 912 team car to the winning Porsche, driven by Earl Bamber, Gianmaria Bruni and Laurens Vanthoor. Both the two-car teams for Corvette Racing’s Chevrolet Corvette C7.R and Ford Chip Ganassi’s Ford GT were shut out of a podium finish, with the Ford GTs finishing fourth and ninth in class, and the Corvettes finishing sixth and eighth.
