ALMS Twelve Hours of Sebring After Five Hours: Audi in Control

Audi leads after five hours of the Twelve Hours of Sebring.
ALMS Twelve Hours of Sebring After Five Hours: Audi in Control
Updated:

SEBRING, Fla.—The final ALMS Sebring 12 Hours has not been a disappointment—there is non-stop action all around the track as cars in pairs and small groups constantly battle.

Audi. With its huge budget and amazing technology, leads comfortably, while Muscle Milk Pickett Racing and Rebellion Racing scrap over the final spot on the podium. The Delta Wing burst into flames early on, and a few drivers have run off course or busted up a nose cone (You know who you are BMW, ESM,and Bar 1,) but there have been no serious accidents.

The #91 Viper leads GTE, something no one envisioned. Risi is an unsurprising second, and Falken is third (Bravo to the little tire that apparently can.)

Bar 1 leads PC and AJR leads GTC, but likely all of this will change many times before the checkered flag.

A more comprehensive report is on the way but here is the running order after five hours.
