BMW V12 LMR wins 12 Hours of Sebring!!

[Mel <abrahams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just got back from the 12 Hours of Sebring.A new Williams V12 LMR Le
Mans BMW won overall.The other LMR crashed in front of the BMW
corral-also where the third Le Mans BMW crashed earlier during the
day-this was last year's V12.It was an exciting and close finish-the
first BMW win at Sebring since 1978!These new cars are incredibly fast
and sound outstanding-better than a Ferrari!A win at Le Mans is a strong
possibility.Unfortunately the M3's did not fair too well.Thanks to
Carlos Diaz Estrada for organizing a great corral and excellent food.The
weather was great and so was the racing.For photos and complete results
