Mike Rockenfeller the Audi factory driver will race the 12 Hours of Sebring. The 2013 DTM champion and 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours winner will join team Spirit of Daytona.

Mike Rocknefeller raced with Spirit of Daytona earlier this year at the Rolex 24 at Daytona with a fine fourth place overall in the end. At Sebring Rocky will share the #90 Corvette Daytona Prototype with Richard Westbrook and Michael Valiante.

The 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race is no stranger to Mike Rockenfeller. The German driver entered the Florida classic many times with both Porsche GT cars and Audi LMP cars. The last appearance for Rocky at Sebring was in 2011 when he finished fifth overall with an Audi R15 TDI plus.
