GT Daytona saw the No. 16 Change Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3 of Jeroen Mul lead the way, thanks to the Dutchman’s 1:44.700.

The No. 57 Stevenson Motorsports Audi R8 LMS of Andrew Davis and Christina Nielsen’s class championship-leading No. 63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 488 GT3 completed the top-three.
