IMSA: Mazdas repeat 1-2 sweep in final practice

It's three sessions down at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and three Mazda Prototype 1-2s in the combined GT Le Mans/Prototype portion of IMSA's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship event.

Joel Miller and Tristan Nunez led another sweep on the session in their No. 55 Mazda P2 Prototype, posting a 1:18.478 to the 1:18.501 recorded by the sister No. 70 Mazda driven by Jonathan Bomarito and Tom Long. And for the third time in three sessions, Michael Shank Racing's No. 60 Ligier JS P2-Honda with Ozz Negri and John Pew was third (1:18.501).

Compared to Friday's cool temperatures and overcast skies, sports car fans were greeted by warmth and sun for the final session prior to qualifying.

In GTLM, Toni Vilander went quickest in the No. 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 he shares with Giancarlo Fisichella (1:23.086), and led another Ford GT 2-3 as Dirk Muller and Joey Hand were best among the pair of Blue Ovals with the No. 66 car (1:23.112) after edging the No. 67's Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook (1:23.124).

Up Next: Qualifying for all classes from 4:30-6 p.m. PT.
