Munich, Germany – BMW Team RLL is ready for the second major endurance race of the 2021 season, the Twelve Hours of Sebring (USA) this Saturday, 20th March. The #24 MOTUL BMW M8 GTE will be driven by Augusto Farfus (BRA), John Edwards (USA) and Jesse Krohn (FIN). The trio had finished the first race of the season, the Rolex 24 at Daytona (USA) in January, third on the podium, together with Marco Wittmann (GER) . Their team-mates Bruno Spengler (CAN), Philipp Eng (AUT) and Connor De Phillippi (USA) share duties in the #25 MOTUL BMW M8 GTE.
Sebring International Raceway has been a successful venue for BMW Team RLL. From 2010 through the 2020 season, the team has totalled two victories, four second and three third place finishes at the Twelve Hours of Sebring. Last year, with the race’s traditional March date delayed until November because of the Covid-19 pandemic, BMW Team RLL came within minutes of adding a third GTLM class victory before being punted out of the lead by a GTD class competitor running into the rear of the #25 MOTUL BMW M8 GTE with some ten minutes remaining in the race. Only four months later, BMW Team RLL is ready to redress the balance.
In the GTD class, the Turner Motorsport team will enter the #96 BMW M6 GT3 with Bill Auberlen, Robby Foley (both USA) and Aidan Read (AUS) at the wheel. The 69th edition of the Twelve Hours of Sebring will take the green flag at 10:10 a.m. local time (15:10 CET) on Saturday, 20th March.
