BMW’s Sheldon van der Linde was fastest in the second free practice session as part of the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s 12 Hours of Sebring.

The South African completed a 1:47.884 in the #25 BMW M Hybrid V8 to put the Rahal Letterman Lanigan names at the top.

FP2 ran far smoother in comparison to the heavily disrupted FP1 session.

As a result, teams made the most of a productive 90 minutes to gain data and make their set-up adjustments for the race on Saturday 15 March.

Despite Mathieu Jaminet’s limited running in the #6 Porsche Penske 963 GTP during FP1, the #6 joined the #7 Porsche on looking strong as a team on pace.

#60 Meyer Shank Acura ARX-06 GTP driver Tom Blomqvist held the top spot for most of the session until S. van der Linde surpassed Blomqvist in the final 15 minutes.

With marginally under five minutes remaining, race control called a red flag when Brendon Iribe’s #70 Inception Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 endured an impact at Turn 13, possibly involving the #12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 of Jack Hawksworth who simultaneously registered as stopped on the timing screen.

So Blomqvist took second position in the end with a quickest lap time of 1:47.998 in front of the fastest of the Porsches, the #6, and Matt Campbell’s 1:48.850.

Felipe Nasr’s 1:48.921 set the #6 Porsche in fourth position as Dries Vanthoor rounded out the top-five with a 1:49.024 in the #24 RLL BMW M Hybrid V8 GTP.
