March 16, 2013 – Sebring, Florida – The No 45 and No 44 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars finished the team’s maiden race in the GTC class in second and ninth place in the 2013 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. No 45 drivers Nelson Canache Jr., Spencer Pumpelly, and Brian Wong drove a strong race, starting fourth on the grid and staying on the lead lap for the entire race. The unfortunate timing of a late race yellow erased a minute and a half lead, but in the following four stints the drivers and strategy kept the car at the front and moved the car from fourth back up to a podium second place. The No 44, driven by Pierre Ehret, Alexandre Imperatori, and Brett Sandberg, ran very well throughout the race, including leading in class, but was slowed by brake problems and a water leak late in the race after contact with a GT car, finishing six laps back of the class winner.
