Ryan Yardley set the pace in the second and final practice session of the Porsche Carrera Cup North America weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

The Topp Racing Performance driver reeled off a 1:21.867 lap time aboard his No. 78 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to outpace Dan Clarke’s Era Motorsport machine by 0.550 seconds.

Jimmy Llibre was third quickest for ACI Motorsports to make it three different teams in the top-three.

Meanwhile, JDX Racing’s Elias De La Torre and Alex Sedgwick finished fourth and fifth quickest respectively in the 40-minute session.

Championship points leader Loek Hartog finished sixth in his No. 24 Kellymoss Porsche, despite topping the times in Practice 1.

Marco Cirone led the way in Pro-Am, with his No. 88 ACI Porsche ending the session 14th-fastest overall, ahead of stablemate Pedro Torres.

The Masters class saw Chris Bellomo top the times for Kellymoss, a mere 0.010 seconds up on ACI’s Matt Halcome.

Practice 2 ran uninterrupted, allowing the 28-car field to dial in their spec Porsche machinery ahead of tomorrow’s qualifying session.

Qualifying is scheduled for Thursday morning at 8:35 a.m. EDT ahead of Race 1 at 5:05 p.m. EDT that evening.

RESULTS: Practice 2
