The 55th Twelve Hours of Sebring marked the ninth victory in the short life of the diesel-powered Audi R10 TDI.

The race was tough for both Audi teams. Werner started on pole position and ran with its sister car of Allan McNish, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen. That trio led most of the opening five hours after the winning car had its problems. The team replaced a battery, starter motor and electrical dashboard before rejoining the race after a 30-minute stop.

Werner was seven laps up on Bryan Herta in the Andretti Green Racing Acura ARX LMP2 entry that he shared with Dario Franchitti and Tony Kanaan. The Audi trio came back from a punctured tire, pit lane penalties and a two-lap deficit to win.

Werner crossed the finish line after 363 laps for his third victory in five Sebring starts.
