After several weeks away following the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is back with another prestigious event -- the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida.
In Daytona, Penske prevailed yet again with Julien Andlauer, Laurin Heinrich, and Felipe Nasr piloting the #7 Porsche to victory over the #31 Whelen Cadillac squad. The class wins went to the #04 Crowdstrike Oreca (LMP2), the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW (GTD Pro), and the #57 Winward Racing Mercedes (GTD).
The Porsche Penske squad are also the defending winners of Sebring, securing a 1-2 finish in last year's event. Sebring is the second of eleven rounds in the 2026 IMSA season, and one of five that are part of the Endurance Cup. Here's everything you need to know for the weekend ahead:
