The first time that Inter Europol Competition won one of endurance racing’s biggest events, the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Two years later, and Inter Europol has added to its legacy with a second major endurance victory at the Twelve Hours of Sebring. It was its first win as a fully-independent IMSA team, after the conclusion of a championship-winning collaboration with PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports, and another reminder that the Polish outfit means business on both sides of the Atlantic.

And it seemed quite improbable when, with 46 minutes to go, it was one of two LMP2 leaders that didn’t pit before a Full Course Yellow came out for a tire carcass that was lying in the middle of the Ullmann Straight.

“We wanted to beat the wave-by, which we did, and it worked out,” said Tom Dillmann, who handled the last two hours for the team. “A nice recovery after the early DNF in Daytona. To bounce back with the win is the best we could have done. We are now back in contention for the title.”
