With Sebring potentially set to open the rescheduled Season 9 of the FIA World Endurance Championship, now is perhaps fitting to look back at the very first time the Florida circuit hosted an opening round of the WEC.

Held in March 2012, the Twelve Hours of Sebring was the curtain raiser for the newly created World Endurance Championship and was held in conjuction with the American Le Mans Series. The race was won by the newly introduced Audi R18 TDI, driven by the trio of Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen and Rinaldo Capello, while AF Corse took the first GTE Pro victory.
