From ALMS
After three days of testing under ideal conditions at Road Atlanta, light rain greeted competitors for the opening round of official practice for Saturday's 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, the last ever race of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
Lucas Luhr topped the time sheets in the first session with 1:26.407 aboard the No. 6 Muscle Milk Pickett Racing HPD ARX-03c co-driven by Klaus Graf and Romain Dumas. Graf led the 18 teams choosing to participate in the day's second practice session, also held in a light rain shower.
Second in the morning was the No. 0 DeltaWing LM12 coupe of Andy Meyrick, 1:28.531. Co-driver Katherine Legge was also second in the afternoon.
Jan Magnussen, looking to wrap up the GT championship along with co-driver Antonio Garcia, led the class and was third overall with a lap of 1:29.499 in the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6 ZR1. GRAND-AM DP champ Jordan Taylor will also co-drive in Saturday's race.
Corvette Racing was 1-2 in the morning session, with Tommy Milner turning a lap of 1:29.829 in the No. 4 entry shared with Oliver Gavin and Richard Westbrook.
There were several spins on the slippery track, with the lone damage sustained when Stefan Johannson impacted the Turn 5 barrier and damaged the rear suspension of the No. 8 BAR1 Motorsports Merchant Services LTD/Evident Capital/MBRP Performance Exhaust ORECA LLM09 co-driven by Chris Cumming and Kyle Marcelli.
A two-hour night practice session will begin at 7 p.m.
