Jan Magnussen og Suntrust er med helt fremme Så er de første frie træninger kørt op til 2. afdeling af Rolex Sports Car Series mesterskabet 2007. Løbet køres på Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez i Mexico city.
I første session var det Jan Magnussen og Max Angelelli. Den første frie træning var i overvejende grad uproblematisk. Det mest dramatiske var at de sidste 10 minutter af denne session blev kørt under gult flag for der skulle ryddes op i sving 3 efter en mindre afkørsel.
Jan Magnussen og Max Angelelli endte med hurtigste tid i denne session i deres SunTrust Racing Riley, selvom den hurtigste tid skiftede flere gange under der træning.

Dagens anden fri træning var på samme måde udramatisk, men man fornemmede at der blev strammet til, og tiderne blev også bedre i forhold til første session.
Efter 30 minuter så top 3 således ud:
1. Krohn Racing, 2. TELMEX Chip Ganass og nummer 3 var SunTrust med Jan Magnussen ved rattet.
Efter knapt en time kom dagens nok mest dramatiske situation, da Bergmeister ramte muren i sving 16. heldivis kom han ikke noget til, men bilen blev derimod ret kraftig skadet.
Et kvarter før slut på dagens sidste træning sætter Magnussen tiden 1:22.644, og bringer dermed SunTrust raceren op på den øjeblikkelige 1. plads.

Magnussens tid holdt desværre ikke, da Bill Auberlen der kører for Luggage Express Team Sigalsport BMW på sidste omgang satte tiden 1:22.458.
Næst hurtigst i denne session var Oswaldo Negri der køre for Michael Shank Racing, og 3. hurtigst var så Magnussen og SunTrust Racing.
Men top 10 er uhyggelig tæt, der er mindre end 0,8 sek imellem nummer 1 og 10, så der er virkeligt lagt op i dag når der skal køre kvalifikation til 400 kilometer løbet, som køres på lørdag.
