Six practice sessions and a three-part qualifying are already in the books, setting the stage for Sunday’s once-around-the-clock race.
The #222 Mercedes-AMG of Cameron Waters, Chaz Mostert, and Thomas Randle will start from pole position thanks to Waters’ 2:01.0790s lap in the Saturday afternoon Shootout.
A 34-car field will contest the race following the withdrawal of the GT4-class Team NZ Aston Martin Vantage due to damage from its crash on Friday.
