Pipo Derani’s quest for a fifth Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring title ended in a high-speed incident in Turn 10, causing his No. 31 Whelen Cadillac to flip upside down in the tire barrier.
Derani was the race leader at the 12 Hours of Sebring before colliding with Miguel Molina’s AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 while attempting to overtake, resulting in the dramatic crash.
Despite the violent nature of the accident, Derani fortunately emerged unharmed and was able to walk away from the wreck under his own power.
Derani expressed uncertainty about what led to the contact with the Ferrari, noting the dynamics of overtaking in endurance racing and the challenges it presents.
Following a substantial cleanup and safety period, Maxine Martin took the lead in the No. 25 BMW M Team RLL M Hybrid V8 after Derani’s unfortunate exit from the race.
