The American LeMans Series has finally kicked off. The season opener took place with a 12 hour race on a beat up airfield in Florida–the historic 12 Hours of Sebring.

The underclassed LMP2 cars are starting the season off strong with a first and second place overall finish, triumphing over the higher classed LMP1 Audi R10. The number 7 RS Spyder, piloted by Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Emmanuel Collard took first in class and first overall.

This was also a great showing for the private team, Dyson Racing finished second in class and second overall–their highest finish since they began running RS Spyders last season.

In the GT1 class a Corvette locked up first place, while Porsche again pulled through with the 911 GT3 RSR and took first place in the GT2 class.
