Bill Auberlen (#10-GT BMW M3) "The PTG BMWs have won this race twice before and normally the M3 is the most reliable race car you can drive, but we didn't have the luck today. These cars have won championship after championship and now they will be retired to make way for the GTR. I'm really looking forward to the next time we race because it will be with that new car. When I was together with it on the track today it looked like one fine machine - one that I can't wait to be in. I feel for the PTG crew. They worked tirelessly all week, but we'll get a chance to get back after it again at Sears Point." Niclas Jönsson (#10-GT BMW M3) "This is my first 12 Hours At Sebring. I know BMW has a great record here but, unfortunately, something went wrong today. I'm really looking forward to driving the new GTR. It is running very fast, very consistent lap times today. I'm sorry for the PTG crew. We had two great pit stops, but we couldn't finish. I enjoyed driving with Bill. I can't wait to get back and win a race with him in the very near future."
