The No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-05c was fourth and the No. 55 Mazda RT-24P, which completed just four laps in the morning practice, was fifth.
Corvette once again ended the session first and second in GT Le Mans with the No. 3 Corvette C8.R besting the No. 4 Corvette C8.R. Antonio Garcia was quickest in the No. 3 with a time of 1m17.516s, just over half a second quicker than Tommy Milner’s best time in the No. 4 Corvette.
