Love it. Missing it now.

Looking at the times.
  • As expected most quick times came in the afternoon. Only eight cars set their quickest time in the morn
  • Hypercar fastest to slowest is covered by 2.5s !
  • LMP2 covered by 5.1s (fastest to second slowest), with the sole Ligier #27 slowest and 27th in class another 5.6s slower, but quicker than all GT.
  • GTE Pro covered by 0.5s ! And ahead of all Am cars (by 0.3s)
  • GTE Am covered by 4.6s !

DSC described it as a harmless off - so not really sure why the red flag flew.

Maybe it was somewhat procedural with it being so close to the end of the session?

Probably. They're always very cautious in their approach during 'free' sessions. We had the Panis roll to a halt minus it's left rear wheel early in the morning session. They red flagged that too....

I believe what you did is get rid of the grandfathered car and upgrade to the current regs!

Jose Maria Lopez explained the “confusion” that caused a red flag at the end of the final test day session. The Toyota driver was nominated to stop and perform an extrication procedure with some marshals at the end of play. But a few minutes before the checkered flag, Lopez “had a moment” with an LMP2 car and went into the gravel in avoidance. This triggered an alarm in the car, so Lopez stopped to complete an electronic reset. “I was waiting until the end of the session and I think when they saw the car [there], they decided to put the red flag [out] because they thought I was ready to do it,” Lopez said.

Just a misunderstanding, but glad it all got sorted.
