2001 12 Hours of Sebring

Sports car endurance race


Sports car endurance race

French Porsche driver and ambassador Bob Wollek was killed nearby the circuit following a practice session. Wollek had been riding a bicycle along a nearby highway when he was struck by a van. A minute of silence was held prior to the start of the race. Wollek's team, Petersen Motorsports, withdrew from the event out of respect.

This would not only be the final victory of Michele Alboreto's lifetime but also his final race ever as he died one month later.
