he 24-hours race at Le Mans.
Car number 7 was the quickest car, in front of their sister car number 8, while the best Porsche was car #2 in third position. The laptimes were set early in the session, which was about 20 minutes shorter because of a repair of the armco after an accident in Road To Le Mans’ practice. But when they started, the laptimes were constantly improved at the front of the field.
In LMP2 it was TDS Racing #28 that drove the best laptime, in front of Vaillante Rebellion #31 and CEFC Manor TRS Racing #25. David Heinemeier Hansson’s car finished the session as the eighth fastest in the big LMP2 field of 25 cars. There were drama for SMP Racing #27, which had fire in the car. It was, however, unclear what exactly happened with the car, since it happened at a part of the track where it was dark.
