As the sun began to set over Sebring, following a blisteringly hot spring day in Florida, the battle in the overall DPi prototype class swung back and forth between Cadillac and Acura.
With just over three hours remaining, the Cadillac DPi-V.Rs of Kamui Kobayashi (Action Express Racing) and Earl Bamber (Chip Ganassi Racing) ran side-by-side for the lead as they crossed the start/finish line. Kobayashi, who was exhausted after a double stint with no drinks system, dived for the pits soon after, dropping the car to fifth in class as it is running off-sequence to its rivals.
