Marco going for it at the 12hrs at Sebring
This is the start of the 12hrs at Sebring. Marco started the race driving the #26 XM Acura.
Motorsport.com put it best: Making a noteworthy debut was Marco Andretti who had an exciting opening stint in the Andretti Green Racing #26 XM Acura. Andretti lost several positions by running wide at the start to avoid contact but came back in impressive fashion to claim the class lead and overall race lead. After triple-stinting his Michelin tires for the first 260 miles of the race, Marco Andretti said: "The tires were pretty unbelievable. They were very consistent and we were able to keep up the pace throughout." The car eventually fell to overheating issues.
