BMW Team RLL claims 12 Hours of Sebring GT victory for a second consecutive year.
At the 60th running of the 12 Hours of Sebring, the #56 Team RLL BMW M3 GT claimed overall victory in the GT class after 307 laps and a dramatic final stage of the race. Over the course of the Enduro, Dirk Müller (DE), Joey Hand (US) and Jonathan Summerton (US) shared the driving duties. Last year, Müller and Hand - along with Andy Priaulx - in the BMW M3 GT won the season opener.
Jörg Müller (DE), Bill Auberlen (US) and Uwe Alzen (DE) drove the sister # 155 BMW M3 GT. The trio finished the race, which saw a combined field of ALMS GT cars and FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) GTE entries, in fifth overall and scored fourth place points in ALMS GT class.
Summerton experienced a perfect debut in sports car racing by making it to the top step of the podium. With today’s win, a BMW M3 has now emerged victorious in the GT class of this event for the fourth time: 1997, 1998, 2011 and 2012. BMW claimed overall victory in 1975 with the BMW 3.0 CSL as well as with the BMW V12 LMR in 1999. With BMW M celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, this historic win comes as the perfect present.
