America\u2019s oldest circuit is also one of the world\u2019s most challenging, in part owing to the flat and featureless landscape.Long straightaways, tight corners and switchbacks contribute to driver fatigue making concentration paramount to staying on the bumpy track which itself generates tremendous stress on the suspension and produces a skittering effect under braking. A handful of laps on this track requires skill and talent, 12 hours of racing on it demands superior endurance from both driver and machine.<\/p>\n<p>After trading first and second throughout the race with their teammates in the #2 car, the #1 Joest Audi R18 e-tron Quattro, that had started from pole position, took the P1 win by a mere 7.68 seconds. Winning driver Benoit Treluyer (Alecon, FRA) shared the car with Marcel Fassler (Gross, SUI) and Oliver Jarvis (Burwell, GBR). The #2 car, driven by Lucas di Grassi (MON), Tom Kristensen (DEN) and Allan McNish (GBR) finished second. Taking third, five laps behind the leader, was the #12 Rebellion Racing Lola B12\/60 driven by Nicolas Prost (Fechy, FRA), Nick Heidfeld (Monchengladbach, GER) and Neel Jani (Jens, SUI).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"12 Hours of Sebring 2013 Photo Gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/12-hours-of-sebring-2013-report-and-photos\/2\/\"><strong>Jump to Twelve Hours of Sebring Photo Gallery and Race Results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, a fantastic week and a fantastic couple of months,\u201d said Jarvis with a nod to his GT win in January at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in the #24 Audi R8. \u201cIt\u2019s been a fantastic start to the year for me. I could never have dreamed of this. To win at Daytona was unexpected, but to come here and win again is a dream come true. It was a privilege to be invited to race here. When I got the call I put the phone down and started jumping. I\u2019ve had two races in America and two wins.

After my first stint we were about a minute behind the Ferrari and I wasn\u2019t able to close the gap much but when we made our next two pit stops our Corvette crew did an absolutely incredible job. I think the first one was about 20 seconds and the second one was 10 seconds. After the first one it gave me so much confidence I just kept pushing, it was an unbelievable finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Westbrook said that it was clear from the beginning that they had a good car. \u201cWhen I had the problem with the dashboard it put us two laps down, but after a few yellow flag periods and great driving stints by these two guys we got back on the lead lap and of course thanks to those two great pit stops we managed to get in the lead. At one point I was concerned because we weren\u2019t getting the expected yellow flag periods and in fact I think we had, at one point, five hours of green flag running and it was then that I felt maybe this is just not going to be our day. Then came the amazing pit stops and Tommy\u2019s great driving at the end. On the balance of things I believe we deserved this win, we did it the hard way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"12 Hours of Sebring 2013 Photo Gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/12-hours-of-sebring-2013-report-and-photos\/2\/\"><strong>Jump to Twelve Hours of Sebring Photo Gallery and Race Results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eleven Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars ran in the GTC class with the win going to Alex Job Racing\u2019s #22 car driven by Cooper MacNeil (Hinsdale, Ill.), Jeroen Bleekemolen (Monte Carlo, MON) and Dion von Moltke (Coral Gables, Fla.).
