Porsche Penske’s Nick Tandy was fastest in the night free practice session as part of the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s 24 Hours of Daytona.
The second free practice session in the night-time started on a slightly damp and greasy track surface. It was an important opportunity for Bronze-graded LMP2 and GTD drivers to gain night-time experience for the upcoming race. The low temperatures kept some GTP teams off the track initially. Bryce Aron impressed in the #85 JDC Miller Motorsports Porsche with the Oreca 07 LMP2 package. There were technical issues for some teams, like the #59 AF Corse Ferrari and the #25 RLL BMW V8 Hybrid. The track evolved, resulting in quicker lap times, with Nick Tandy topping the charts in the #7 Porsche Penske. Kamui Kobayashi and Brendon Hartley also set competitive times. In the LMP2 class, Malthe Jakobsen led the way, while Jules Gounon was quickest in the GT field. Antonio Fuoco and David Fumanelli shone in the GTD class.
