The night-time practice at the Daytona International Speedway was crucial for drivers and teams to chase laptime and get familiar with the track and their machines. It was also the only nighttime running before the Daytona 24 Hours race. During the session, there was a red flag when Josh Burdon’s #74 Riley Oreca-07 Gibson LMP2 machine stopped on the track. Felipe Nasr initially led the classification, but was later displaced by pole-winner Derani in the #31 Action Express Racing Cadillac. The top 10 was completed by BMWs, Acuras, and Porsches. Cadillacs dominated the practice sessions, and in LMP2, Malthe Jakobsen in the #04 Oreca-07 Gibson led the way. In the GT pack, GTD Pro entries, led by Earl Bamber in the #4 Pratt Miller Corvette, occupied the top four spots. The fourth and final practice will take place on Friday.
