The good surprise came from second position, 342 thousandths behind, from the Porsche 963 of championship leaders Laurens Vanthoor, Kevin Estre and André Lotterer. The on-site tests seem to have borne fruit. The second 499P, the yellow of Kubica-Schwartzman-Yé, this time had to settle for 3rd position ahead of the first Toyota GR010, the No. 8 of Sébastien Buemi ranked 7 tenths behind. The Peugeot 9×8 of Stoffel Vandoorne is credited with the 6th time. Not bad with a BOP that the Belgian considers unfavorable.
After Lamborghini fourth this morning, it was Alpine which stood out during this session with the seventh time set by Mick Schumacher. The gaps, however, still remain high (1.5) and we obviously do not know on which program, with which tires and with what quantity of gasoline their competitors were operating, such as for example the BMW V8 Hypercar WRT tenth and eleventh at 1.6 and 1.7 of the best performance of the day.
In GT, best time again for a TF Sport Corvette, this time the No. 81 of our compatriot Tom Van Rompuy, one of the main candidates for pole. Ninth time for Iron Lynx's Lambo and only thirteenth for the BMW M4 WRT of Maxime Martin and Vale Rossi, with no worries on their side since we prepared for the race.
