Porsche Sweeps Roar Before the 24 as Nasr Sets Daytona Test Pace

The Roar’s times offer an early benchmark before the field returns for qualifying on Thursday.

Overview

Felipe Nasr’s 1:36.327 in the No. 7 Porsche 963 from Friday led overall, with Nico Pino 0.004s and Laurens Vanthoor 0.108s back to complete a Porsche 1-2-3.
Filipe Albuquerque put Wayne Taylor Racing’s No. 10 Cadillac fourth at 1:36.731, 0.404 seconds off Nasr’s benchmark.
Class leaders included Charles Milesi in LMP2 at 1:38.935, Spencer Pumpelly fastest across GTD entries at 1:47.304, and Kenny Habul pacing GTD Pro at 1:47.530.
The Bronze-only session saw PJ Hyett quickest in LMP2 on a damp track with a 1:40.614 before a Turn 1 spin triggered a late red flag.
Heart of Racing’s Aston Martin Valkyrie returned after an engine change, and IMSA has yet to name its Le Mans Hypercar auto-invite, which Sportscar365 reports likely points to Wayne Taylor Racing or Action Express.
