Second fastest in GTD Pro, sixth overall, was Patrick Pilet in the #9 Pfaff Porsche 911 GT3 R. He was 0.694 off Barnicoat, while Antonio Garcia, the next GTD Pro car in ninth overall, was even further adrift, the Spaniard 0.822 off in the #3 Corvette C8.R.

The session was relatively clean, with no red flags, although Dani Juncadella’s #79 WeatherTech Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 did catch fire in the pitlane briefly before being extinguished, as the session came to a close. Juncadella got out of the car under his own steam and appeared unhurt.
