Sebring – Race Deletraz gives Acura the win

Louis Deletraz’s impressive pass by Sebastien Bourdais in turn 7 brought Taylor’s team’s No. 40 Acura into the 2023 edition of the 12 Hours of Sebring. With Switzerland, Jordan Taylor, the main character of his father’s team’s last victory in 2017, and Colton Herta. The Cadillac of Bourdais-Dixon-Van Der Zande then finished second ahead of the Porsche Penske of Felipe Nasr, who was pitted against Julien Andlauer, partnering Gimmi Bruni and Alessio Picariello. The brawl eliminated three of the Proton team and finished eighth.

Fourth place for De Philippi-Yelloly-Martin in the first BMW. The first Lamborghini should also be planned. On a very difficult track, Matteo Cairoli, Andrea Caldarelli and Romain Grosjean scored the SC63’s first American race in seventh place and at full speed, racing the BMW of Krohn-Eng-Farfus. Left very empty handed is the ActionExpress team. After leading the race through the pits, Pipo Derani collided with Molina’s Ferrari GT, crashing into the barriers and overturning. The Brazilian was not injured, the US team was KO’d. The No. 6 Porsche of Tandy-Jaminet-Makowiecki was also unlucky, finishing ninth due to contact and problems.

In GT, the success of Lexus and Kirkwood-Barnicoat-Hawksworth after a long battle with Ferrari AF, mainly between Hawksworth and Daniel Serra. Perera-Bortolotti-Pepper finished on the third step of the podium with the first Lamborghini Huracan Iron Lynx. The podium was favored by the contact between the Corvette of Juncadella-Garcia-Sims and the AO Racing Porsche of Heinrich-Priaulx-Christensen. The American car was kicked out, while the Porsche was punished equally with a drive-through.

In GTD Daytona’s success was repeated by the Mercedes of Russel Ward, Philip Ellis and Indy Dontje, while the Ferrari in Cetilar colors of Fuoco-Lacorte-Sernagiotto brought up the rear. In LMP2, the success of Connor Zilisch, Ryan Dalziel and Dwight Merriman for the Era Motorsport team.
