IMSA Watkins Glen: BMW beats Cadillac in FP2 but sister car shunts

BMW M Hybrid V8 sets pace in GTP and tops GTD Pro with M4 in second practice

BMW’s Philipp Eng set the pace in opening practice for the sixth round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Watkins Glen, but the marque's sister car crashed in the closing moments. IMSA brings a 56-car field to the classic 3.4-mile road course, which hosted the United States Grand Prix for 20 years, located amid the rolling hills near the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. Nick Tandy set the early GTP pace with a lap of 1m34.
