Sebring, Florida - Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS took to Sebring International Raceway’s historic, high-speed tarmac for Practice Session 1 in preparation for its penultimate race weekend.

The next-fastest Pro car was their sister #3 K-PAX Lamborghini driven by Jordan Pepper with a 2:00.410, followed by Robby Foley in the #96 Turner Motorsport BMW M4 GT3 with a 2:00.811.
