The Chevrolet Sports Car Classic is well underway for the teams and drivers of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship as the second and final practice session has been completed on Detroit's Belle Isle. 

Dane Cameron and co-driver Eric Curran's No. 31 Action Express Racing car was second quickest in the opening practice session on Friday morning, but Cameron took the top spot in a rather wet afternoon session. 

At just after 1 pm ET, rain became to fall around the island that is located in the Detroit River that separates Detroit, Michigan from Windsor, Ontario. Minutes later, the cars began to take to the track for the second of two 90-minute practice sessions of the weekend. It wasn't until 2 pm, though, that the rain really began to come down; the picking-up of the rain brought out a red flag for course inspection. Just 15 minutes later, the session was red flagged and came to an end with Cameron on top; his fastest lap time of the session that earned him P1 was 1:28.704.

Just behind him in the Prototype category was the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing entry driven by Jordan Taylor with a best lap of 1:31.307. In third was the car that led the opening session on Friday morning, the No. 5 Action Express Racing entry of Joao Barbosa and co-driver Christian Fittipaldi; Barbosa's fastest lap time around the 14-turn, 2.35-mile Raceway at Belle Isle was 1:31.980, good for 3.276-seconds behind the other Action Express Racing entry that led the session. 

The rain played an impact on the time sheets; it is quite unusual for such a gap between these top three cars. 

Fastest in Prototype Challenge for this session was van der Zande and in GT Daytona, James Davison was atop the time sheet. 

Next up for United SportsCar is qualifying, beginning at just after 5 pm ET time. Follow @VAVELSportsCar for live tweeting and photos during qualifying and tomorrow's race.
