Pipo Derani set the fastest time in his Cadillac, followed by Felipe Nasr in a Porsche. Malthe Jakobsen led in the LMP2 category, and Earl Bamber topped the GTD PRO class in a Corvette. The No. 86 MDK Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R was the fastest in the GTD standings. Two cars, both GTD PRO cars, did not participate in the session.
