# 12 Ore di Sebring 2012

La 12 Ore di Sebring 2012 è stata la sessantesima edizione della 12 Ore di Sebring. Vi hanno partecipato nove classi e ha fatto parte di due mondiali, l'American Le Mans Series e il nuovo Campionato del Mondo Endurance.

## Contesto

La 12 Ore di Sebring è stato l'evento inaugurale della stagione 2012 dell'ALMS ma soprattutto la prima gara in assoluto del nuovo FIA WEC, un campionato mondiale endurance nato dalla ceneri del vecchio Campionato del mondo sportprototipi, soppresso nel 1993.

Alla fine la gara è stata vinta da Dindo Capello (al quinto successo), Tom Kristensen (al sesto successo, record assoluto) e Allan McNish su Audi R18 TDI che hanno preceduto la vettura gemella condotta da Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas e Loïc Duval.

L'equipaggio vincitore, nelle 12 ore previste, ha completato 325 giri del circuito di Sebring.
