Sensation in Florida: after a dramatic closing stage, Mario Farnbacher wins the 12 hours of Sebring, which also means a victory in the second round of the USCC sports car series. Together with his team colleagues Alex Riberas and Ian James, Farnbacher carried off the longed-for victory in the GT-Daytona-Class.
Mario Farnbacher and his team Alex Job Racing were really pursued by misfortune at the Daytona 24 hours race. Already during the formation lap for the endurance classic in the U.S. state of Florida the German experienced technical problems and was forced to head back into the pit lane again. In the further course of the race he and his team mates Ian James and Alex Riberas had to settle with some more unfortunate circumstances. Finally the trio was forced to retire from the race with an engine failure after eight hours. At least there was yet still a reason to celebrate.
