Qualifying

[edit]

Saturday's afternoon qualifying session was broken into two sessions, with one session for the LMP2, GTD Pro and GTD classes, which lasted 15 minutes each.[6] The rules dictated that all teams nominated a driver to qualify their cars, with the Pro-Am LMP2 class requiring a Bronze rated driver to qualify the car. The competitors' fastest lap times determined the starting order. IMSA then arranged the grid to put LMP2s ahead of the GTD Pro, and GTD cars.[7]
