Riley Dickinson led the way in both Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America practice sessions for Thursday’s opening rounds of the season at Sebring International Raceway.

The Kellymoss driver reeled off a best lap of 2:02.226 in Wednesday’s noon-time session prior to the arrival of rain on the 3.7-mile airfield circuit.

His time was marginally quicker than his 2:02.243 benchmark set in the first session of the weekend this morning.

Dickinson edged out the No. 17 McElrea Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car of Tom Sargent by nearly three-tenths, with JDX Racing’s Will Martin third, thanks to a 2:02.543 lap time in the afternoon.

Jason Hart and Thomas Merrill completed the top-five for MDK Motorsports and Nolasport, respectively.

Pro-Am was led by the No. 82 ACI Porsche of Marco Cirone while Mark Kvamme topped the Am class in his No. 43 MDK Motorsports entry.

Qualifying is set to get underway at 3:05 p.m. ET.
