ACI Motorsports set the two fastest overall lap times in the second and final Pirelli GT4 America practice session of the day at Sebring International Raceway.

A late improvement from the No. 9 ACI Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport of Dan Sibille and Kay van Berlo propelled their pace-setting entry to the top of the times, 1.140 seconds ahead of stablemate Riley Dickinson, who had led a large portion of the 45-minute practice session in his No. 7 Porsche.

Matheus Leist was third in Practice 2 for Nolasport, 1.217 seconds off of the No. 9 ACI Porsche’s 2:10.739 session-best lap.

The No. 94 Random Vandals Racing BMW M4 GT4 EVO of Josh Green was fourth fastest, while Dome Motorsport’s Marc Miller rounded out the top five in the No. 37 Mercedes AMG GT4 Evo he co-pilots with Edward Killeen.

The Pro-Am field found its footing in second practice, with the top six recorded times all coming from the series’ top class.

Seventh overall was the Silver class pace-setting No. 52 Auto Technic Racing BMW of Zac Anderson, whose best lap was just one tenth of a second faster than VPX Motorsport’s Alex Ellis.

BimmerWorld Racing once again topped the Am class times, but with Charlie Postins at the wheel when the No. 36 M4 GT4 EVO set its best time in Practice 2.

During the session, Random Vandals’s Kevin Boehm came to a stop in Sector 1 after his sixth lap in the No. 97 BMW, but did so without interrupting practice running. Boehm would eventually continue on, having recorded a first sector time of more than seven minutes.

Neither the No. 15 Archangel Motorsports Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Evo nor the No. 26 Heart of Racing Team Aston recorded representative laps in the afternoon session.

The session ran green for all 45 minutes, allowing the field of 29 cars the maximum amount of track time ahead of tomorrow’s qualifying session.

GT4 America qualifying gets underway for Driver 1 at 10:15 a.m. EST on Saturday, with each team’s second driver qualifying shortly thereafter at 10:35 a.m.
