Acura’s Louis Deletraz led the 54-car field to the green around the undulating 2.54-mile road course in Georgia but Sebastien Bourdais took little time in taking the lead, sweeping his Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac around the Wayne Taylor Racing ARX-06 outside at Turn 1 and quickly pulling clear.

The highlights this week include looks at the Chevy Corvette ZR-1, Porsche Boxster EV, VW Golf GTI, and BMW i5 Touring.

The sleek C5 has an upgraded exhaust, though the 5.7-liter V8 is likely still under 400 horsepower.

GTP was the last category to go out and saw persistent rain darken the 2.54-mile, 12-turn road course, leaving every team to swap to rain tyres. As the 20-minute session went on, conditions changed and the track began to dry out in areas and the lap times continued to fall.

The electrified E-Ray offers hypercar speed for a fraction of the cost of Ferrari and McLaren.

It likely has the 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8 from the Z06 but with a pair of turbos thrown in for good measure.

If there's time, we'll also discuss models debuting at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show.
