That's very quick, especially for the first session.

I wonder whether Toyota might be regretting the effective 'demotion' of Pechito haha?
Anyway very encouraging to see we're faster than last year's times. |

Toyota have all their Japanese drivers in the cars currently. Nakajima on it again it looks.

Kobayashi did a 3:21.4 right at the end too. Toyota seem to have the pace. Definitely going to be a sub-3:18 pole.

This is looking more and more like a year when the distance record could fall.

Guess who's feeling smug because they predicted a high 3:20 this morning
I'm not sure, with the LMP2's increased straight line speed it will be a miracle if there isn't an accident because of it, and that's on top of the usual collisions we see every year at Le Mans. The pace should be there, the weather might be, but the green flag time needed probably won't be. |

I'll be surprised if we don't see a emergency p2 speed reduction before race time.

Looks like the Dallara teams need to give up some of that straight line to be quicker in the twisties, quite far off the pace at this stage but it's testing, we'll know the true story by the end of the day. Ligiers making up most of the tail of the field also sadly.

EDIT: 3:20.091! |
