The Mosport-winning #4 C6R ZR1 with Oliver Gavin turned a 1:21.634 vs the Risi Competizione Ferrari, 0.058 seconds back. Tommy Milner put the #3 car third, with a 1:21.849. Lizards Porsche carried their 15kg extra weight to fourth. The BMWs were induction-restricted to sixth and ninth. .....in practice.
