David Malukas set the quickest practice lap time during the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy event held in Markham. Malukas clocked in at one minute 14.194 seconds in the second practice session of the day, with qualifying scheduled for the evening.
Following Malukas, Alex Palou secured the second-best time at 1:14.560, while Dennis Hauger took the third spot with a time of 1:14.592 on the Markham downtown road course.
The first day of track sessions was canceled due to the incomplete state of the course and pending safety inspections. This year marks the inaugural hosting of the race in Markham, following its relocation from Toronto’s Exhibition Place, where it had been hosted since its inception in 1986.
Earlier in the day, Palou had topped the time charts in the morning practice session, completing his lap in 1:14.9915.
