The World Endurance Championship’s sole American appearance results in a dream finish for Corvette.
2022 LMP2 title winners Jota continue their winning ways.Toyota Gazoo Racing dominated the opening round of the 2023 World Endurance Championship Friday winning the 1000 Miles of Sebring taking the top two spots over the Ferrari 499P Hypercar.
Fuoco was behind the wheel early on and led until the Ferrari AF Corse team elected to pit both of its 499Ps under a safety car for a splash of fuel. That proved to be their undoing as Toyota took command of the race from that point with first the No. 8 car with Hartley then the No. 7 who took over the lead during a round of pit stops during a full course caution.
The second Ferrari AF Corse 499P, the 51, was seventh after losing time on track for repairs after contact with one of the LMGTE Am cars. Beckmann won in his FIA WEC debut while reigning champion Stevens took the win in what is his penultimate LMP2 race of the season before he switches to the Porsche 963 Hypercar from Spa-Francorchamps.
Albuquerque leapfrogged the 63 Prema Racing entry that was forced to do a late splash and go stop for fuel. Daniil Kvyat, Doriane Pin and Mirko Bortolotti completed their debut as a trio by rounding out the class podium.
