Toyota didn’t keep hold of the top two spots in LMP1 for long. With a lap time below 3:20 - the second of the day - Mathias Beche has moved back into second place with the #3 Rebellion R13-Gibson, relegating the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid to third. In LMP2, the #36 Alpine A470-Gibson has conceded the lead to Jean-Eric Vergne at the wheel of the #26 Oreca 07-Gibson for G-Drive Racing.

In the GTE Pro class, Ford has been caught up by Gianmaria Bruni, who has sandwiched his #91 Porsche 911 RSR second behind one of the American cars... and in front of the other three! A similar scenario in GTE Am where the #77 Porsche fielded by Dempsey Proton Racing has claimed the second best time in the class.
