Tristan Vautier has gone quickest in the rain-affected night practice session for Motul Petit Le Mans.
The Frenchman posted a 01:10.796 in the #5 Mustang Sampling Cadillac DPi-VR, 0.026s faster than the #01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac of Kevin Magnussen.
The top three was rounded out by the #55 Mazda RT24-P of Oliver Jarvis.
At the halfway point of the session, it began raining. With no rain on the forecast for Saturday’s ten-hour race, most of the teams completed no further running.
LMP2 was led by the #52 PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA of Mikkel Jensen while Rasmus Lindh topped LMP3 for Performance Tech Motorsports.
Porsche once again led GTLM with a one-two courtesy of the two WeatherTech Racing 911 RSR-19s. Fred Makowiecki was the fastest of the two in the #97 car.
GTD was topped by the #14 Lexus RC F GT3 of Jack Hawksworth. All but one car turned laps in the class – only the Wright Motorsports Porsche was absent following its crash in the second practice session.
