[LM24] Test Day 2021

Do you thing anyone tried qualifying pace yet or were those fastest times in LMH set in longer runs?

I think you misunderstood my post. I strongly agree with you. The dreaded Spa24 SC procedure would ruin Le Mans.

I'm sorry to tell you that your post wasn't clear. Now you give an argument (which could have been pro or con though), that's OK.
Forgive my high sensitivity.

No one went for the ultimate lap would be my guess. Which you’d guess even before you look at the times.

But Toyota and Glickenhaus were going for quicker laps near the end of the session. Alpine did their quickest earlier on, in the 3rd hour.
Toyota #8 had fastest 1st and 3rd sectors. Interestingly this was not on their fastest lap. All this came in their final stint which was seven laps long. Fastest lap came in the middle of this stint and fastest 1st sector on the last lap.
It’s hypothetical quickest lap was 1.1s quicker.

The #7 didn’t look like it was going for times near the end. It’s theoretical FL looked like it could have been 0.7s quicker.

Glickenhaus #708 had fastest lap and fastest 2nd sector, but like the Toyota the fastest sector was not on the fastest lap. It was also part of a longish stint of seven laps. This cars fastest sectors were all in a row, but split over two laps.
It’s hypothetical quickest lap was about 0.8s quicker.

#709 didn’t seem to be going for times near the end. It’s theoretical FL was only 0.2s quicker.

So I think they tried, but not that hard.
