Porsche wins its 20th overall victory at Sebring. Felipe Nasr, Julien Andlauer, and Laurin Heinrich held off sister car #6 by 1.5 seconds in a breathless 16-minute sprint to the finish.
Official results from the 74th 12 Hours of Sebring — March 21, 2026.
Nasr held off his Penske teammate Estre in a 16-minute sprint after the ninth and final safety car period, winning by just 1.515 seconds. Porsche's 20th overall victory at Sebring — and Nasr's fourth Sebring win, cementing his status as one of the great Sebring drivers.
The 2025 Sebring champions finished 1.515 seconds behind sister car #7. A Penske 1-2 overall.
Moved onto the podium after the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac was disqualified in post-race technical inspection.
ORECA 07 Gibson
Porsche 911 GT3 R
Won with a last-lap pass.
The #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac was stripped of its podium finish following a post-race technical infraction. The #31 Whelen Cadillac was elevated to the final GTP podium position, moving every entry behind the #10 up one position in the final standings.
The race featured nine safety car periods — a chaotic, interrupted race that kept the field bunched and denied any team the chance to build a comfortable lead. Strategy and execution under pressure determined the outcome as much as outright pace.
After the final safety car period with 16 minutes remaining, the race became a flat-out sprint. Nasr in the #7 pulled clear of teammate Estre in the #6 to win by 1.515 seconds — a classic endurance race decided in the final moments.
The victory was Porsche's 20th overall triumph at Sebring — the most of any manufacturer in the race's history. The Stuttgart manufacturer also achieved a perfect 1-2 finish, repeating last year's result and underlining Porsche Penske's dominance in the GTP class.
Reports emerged after the race that Nasr pushed past team strategy in the closing minutes to secure the win for the #7 car, a moment of drama within the Penske garage. It capped a remarkable day for the Brazilian driver, who is now a four-time Sebring overall winner.

All four classes race simultaneously on track — a faster car lapping a slower one is completely normal.
The top class. Hybrid-electric prototypes producing 500+ hp, built to the same spec used at Le Mans. Full factory programs from Porsche, Cadillac, BMW, Acura, and Aston Martin.
Semi-professional prototype class. All 12 cars use the identical ORECA 07 chassis with a Gibson V8, making driver and strategy the differentiators. Also races at Le Mans.
All-professional GT3 category. Factory-backed teams field production-derived supercars — Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Lamborghini, Corvette, Ford, and more.
The gentleman driver class. Same GT3 cars as GTD Pro, but each team must include at least one amateur "Silver" or "Bronze" driver. The largest and most diverse class.

How the pre-race storylines played out.
The #6 Porsche Penske (Vanthoor/Estre/Campbell) could not repeat their 2025 win — they finished second, beaten by sister car #7 in the final sprint. A bittersweet result: dominant as a team, but the trophy went to the other garage.
The 2024 Sebring winners in the #40 Cadillac were unable to go back-to-back. The #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac initially held a podium but was stripped of it in post-race technical inspection.
Winward Racing could not secure a third straight GTD victory at Sebring. The GTD class went to the #21 AF Corse Ferrari in a dramatic last-lap pass.
The #911 Manthey Porsche won the GTD Pro class — a strong result for the German operation against a stacked all-professional GT3 field.
Kevin Magnussen, Alex Palou, Scott Dixon and the star-studded GTP grid couldn't crack Porsche Penske's stranglehold on the top two positions. The Stuttgart manufacturer proved untouchable on this occasion.
The #21 AF Corse Ferrari's last-lap pass to win the GTD class was one of the most dramatic moments of the race — the kind of wheel-to-wheel finish that makes endurance racing unmissable.
