I think Dpi will qualify around 1:45, maybe high 1:44 if someone gets a great lap.
Usually I would say Toyota would find time to be a second clear of their rivals after qualifying, but they appear pretty far back based on fastest practice time over one lap. I don't think an LMH pole of 1:48, maybe 1:47 is out of the question. But I don't think Toyota's going to find 3-4 seconds at Sebring. We'll find out tonight. Having said all that, I'm sure Toyota will handle itself better in race conditions.
Tomorrow will be a nice, hot and sunny Florida spring day with no significant chance of rain until late in the race. Saturday should be more of the same. Track conditions should be pretty similar for both races.

This combined event is great for IMSA and the ACO to see how the Hypercars perform on the same track as current DPi's. IMSA has so much data on the current cars and once they start testing the perfomance of the GTP's they will have a pretty good idea on pace vs the current cars. I think it can only help when trying to put LMH and GTP in the same race together next year.
Also, RVDZ is fast and leads first practice for Caddy:
