IMSA: #10 Acura on top in opening practice for Rolex

Filipe Albuquerque put the Wayne Taylor Racing Andretti Autosport #10 Acura on top for the first official practice for this weekend’s Rolex 24 IMSA race at Daytona.

The session was interrupted by five red flag periods.

Albuquerque topped the overall leaderboard with just under half an hour left in the 90-minute run, posting a time of 1:35.366 behind the wheel of the No. 10 Acura ARX-06.

Albuquerque ended up 0.266 seconds ahead of second-placed Alex Lynn in the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-LMDh.

Rolex 24 pole-sitter Tom Blomqvist finished third, a shade under three-tenths behind Albuquerque, after leading the session early for Meyer Shank Racing.

Paul-Loup Chatin set the pace in the LMP2 class with a time of 1:38.302 in the PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports Oreca 07 Gibson.

Felipe Fraga topped LMP3 with a time of 1:42.704 driving for Ligier team Riley Motorsports.
