Kévin Estre posted the fastest time of the three free practice sessions ahead of Saturday’s 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. The Frenchman posted his 2:04.125 in FP3 in his #6 Porsche 963, bettering the 2:04.162 he set in FP2.
Both the Ferraris were also in good form in the Ardennes, recording the second- and third-fastest times of the weekend so far – just two tenths short of Estre’s benchmark.
Fourth fastest in the first three sessions was the #2 Cadillac, closely followed by the #93 Peugeot and the #15 BMW. The pair of works Toyotas were down in P7 and P8 after the four hours of free practice.
In LMGT3, just a handful of tenths separated the #82 TF Sport Corvette and the #92 Manthey PureRxcing Porsche at the top of the timesheets – with bronze-rated Aliaksandr Malykhin impressing in the Porsche. Rahel Frey was third-fastest after the first three sessions of the weekend on her return to the #85 Iron Dames crew (replacing the otherwise engaged Doriane Pin).
