Sebring preview: A three-way fight

It's not just Audi versus Peugeot in this year's Sebring 12 Hours, as Acura takes the fight to its factory rivals in the LMP1 class. Matt Beer previews one of sportscar racing's great events and the ALMS season it kicks off

The Audi versus Peugeot battle, modern sportscar racing's epic rivalry, enters a new era this weekend with the American Le Mans Series season-opening Sebring 12 Hours.

Last year Peugeot's 908 HDI FAP had a commanding speed advantage over Audi's R10 TDI, yet even with a faster car, Peugeot couldn't stop its arch-rival winning Le Mans, the Le Mans Series or the Petit Le Mans - and it also missed out on LMP1 honours at Sebring, where both marques were humbled by the more reliable LMP2 cars.
