Manthey Racing locked out GTD Pro with a Porsche 1-2, while Nasr/Andlauer moved 80 points clear in the early championship standings. In LMP2, Mikkel Jensen and Hunter McElrea won for United Autosports in a first-ever IMSA 1-2 for the team. Lilou Wadoux became the first female Sebring winner since 2016 in AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo in GTD, and the event posted a record attendance; penalties affected other contenders, and the series heads to Long Beach next.
