HOMESTEAD, Fla.— Rain came down hard halfway through morning practice session for the Rolex Sports Car Series Grand Prix of Miami, leaving large puddles around the track and making driving treacherous.

The drivers pressed on regardless, gaining valuable information about how their cars worked in the wet, in case it rains for tomorrow’s race.

The showers blew through shortly after practice ended, letting the sun start to evaporate some of the puddles before the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge cars took the track for their pre-race practice. With a strong chance of rain for their afternoon race, the Continental Tire teams needed the wet-weather data as much as the Rolex teams.
