In its quest to extend the momentum generated in the 2011 American Le Mans Series, Team Falken Tire has taken delivery of a brand new 2012 Porsche GT3 RSR chassis. The car was sent to Derrick Walker’s race shop in Indianapolis in preparation for the car’s assault on the demanding GT class and will make its season debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring on March 17.
Drivers Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers will return to pilot the car, which is one of only four new race-designated Porsches in the U.S. The veteran duo secured two wins for Team Falken during last year, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and on the streets of Baltimore.

More shots are coming in from Sebring testing on the Monday and Tuesday after the race. The big news so far is that Audi had a crash with the new R15 plus. Although this shot is not the greatest it does tell a story of what might have been… We’re not saying Audi would have won but this leaves a lot of questions and/or arguments which Peter of Autoextremist.com has brought up on his wonderful piece.
Although, we don’t agree parts, we do feel the pain as a spectator and understand the arguments presented. Well said Peter!
The Audi team was nowhere to be found at Sebring during the race week for the classic 12 Hour endurance race. Oh, they were in Florida alright – rested and ready, as a matter of fact – as they had tested at Homestead Miami Speedway the previous week. And they were also going to participate in two days of testing at Sebring Monday and Tuesday (the 22nd & 23rd) of this week with Patron-Highcroft Racing, Corvette Racing and the Sebring-winning Peugeot team.
