Nova sezona ALMS počinje trkom 12h Sebringa. Finac JJ Lehto je bio najbrži tokom prvog treninga vozivši krug 1:49.723 tj, stazu dužine 5953 je prošao sa prosečnom brzinom od 195kmh. Prošlogodišnji šampion klase LMP1 je i ove godine u ADT Champion Audi R8 automobilu, a Tom Kristensen i Marco Werner će deliti ovaj auto sa njime tokom trke. Vozači su uglavnom imali zamerke na stanje staze, a ne na stanje svojih automobila. Kako su rekli, staza je bila veoma prašnjava, a stanje je pogoršavao i jak vetar. Nova Korveta C6-R je postigla najbrže vreme u GT1 klasi sa vremenom 1:57.347 i 1:57.747, dok je Saleen S7R bio na trećem mestu sa 1:57.881. U GT2 klasi najbrži je bio Petersen Motorsport Porsce 911 GT3 RSR sa vremenom 2:04.980, dok je drugu poziciju imao Panoz Esperante sa 2:05.047. Kvalifikacije će se voziti danas.
Novi učesnici u ALMS su Maserati MC12 i Aston Martin DBR9. Aston Martin je, inače, uložio protest kod IMSA-e na Maseratijev automobil koji nije još odobren od strane nadležnih federacija. Problem je u neslaganju ACO i FIA pravila pa se tako MC12 razlikuje za 66mm po dužini i 7-10kg po težini. Maserati MC12 je postavio 19. vreme ukupno i 9. vreme u klasi tokom treninga vozivši krug za 2:00.38.
