The Pratt Miller Motorsports factory Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs finished first and second in GTD PRO, led by the No. 4 of Nicky Catsburg with a 1m21.187s, a tenth and a half up on the No. 3 of Alexander Sims.
The No. 81 DragonSpeed Ferrari 296 GT3 was third fastest, though the yellow and pink Ferrari did have a minor scare when the car began to emit smoke from the rear.
A flush of gearbox fluid seemed to fix the issue and the car continued without any further trouble.
Completing GTD PRO’s top five was the No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2, and the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Racing Lexus RC F GT3.
Kenton Koch and Korthoff Competition Motors led the way in GTD: Koch set a 1m21.502s in the No. 32 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO. Behind Koch, the No. 45 WTR Lamborghini was second quickest, followed by the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus.
DXDT Racing’s Robert Wickens set a personal best of 1m22.596s and has turned 45 laps so far in his specially equipped No. 36 Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
