On early Thursday afternoon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the GT America powered by AWS field took on the road course to get familiar with its technicaly layout in the series' first official practice session of the event. It was a strong showing from Porsche, occuping the top three with Kellymoss' Todd Parriott leading the way in the No. 13 Porsche 911 GT3-R (992) EVO, ahead of the two Wright Motorsports entries of Jon Manship and Dave Musial in the No. 216 and No. 72 machines. Fourth place was occupied by a brand new entry, with the No. 100 Risi Competizione Maserati MC20 GT2 of Peter Dempsey making its debut, ahead of the No. 50 Chouest Povoledo Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Ross Chouest.
