Audi went 1-2-3 in warmup for this morning's 60th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. The No. 1 Audi of Allan McNish posted a best time of 1:50.804 in the 25-minute session, which saw no major incidents.
Starworks Motorsprort (LMP2), Corvette Racing (GT), AF-Waltrip (GTE-Am), Performance Tech (PC) and TRG (GTC) were class pace-setters.
The No. 055 Level 5 Motorsports HPD ARX-03b, which crashed in qualifying, returned to action this morning following an overnight rebuild of the ALMS P2 contender. It will start from the rear of the field, however, after changing tires. The No. 15 OAK Racing Oak-Pescarolo Judd has also been moved back due to failing the post-qualifying stall test.
The only major drama came from the No. 17 Team Falken Tire Porsche of Bryan Sellers, which lost an engine in warmup. The team is now racing to replace the 4.0-liter powerplant in time for the green flag.
If Falken can be ready in time, 63 cars would take 10:30 a.m. start, as the No. 29 Gulf Racing Middle East Lola B12/60 Nissan has been excluded for not meeting the minimum required time in practice/qualifying.
Gulf Middle East's No. 28 car, however, will start after repairs have made following Maxime Jousse's accident in Thursday night practice.
There has also been a late driver change, as Jan Heylen has replaced Francesco Dracone in the No. 37 Conquest Endurance Morgan-Judd. Dracone is "sick and not up to the rigors of a 12-hour race" according to the team's release.
