# 12 Ore di Sebring 2011

L'edizione 2011 della 12 Ore di Sebring, corsa il 19 marzo sul circuito di Sebring, è stata la cinquantanovesima dell'evento. Essa è stata anche la prima gara delle stagioni 2011 di American Le Mans Series e Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.

## Contesto

La gara segna il debutto stagionale delle vetture Sport Prototipo realizzate secondo i nuovi regolamenti tecnici della categoria Le Mans Prototype volti al contenimento delle prestazioni, che si confrontano con le concorrenti costruite in base al vecchio regolamento, che sono ancora ammesse in gara per il 2011, ma che per poter scendere in pista devono sottostare a particolari restrizioni tecniche, tali de garantire l'equilibrio delle prestazioni tra le due tipologie di vetture.
Alla prima categoria appartengono la Peugeot 908, mentre reduci dalla stagione 2010 sono la Peugeot 908 HDi FAP e la Audi R15 TDI plus.
