Practice for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans has ended, leaving only the start of the race to come on Saturday.
In the final one-hour Free Practice 4, the #38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R set the quickest time; it was a 3:26.843 turned in by Sébastien Bourdais right at the chequered flag. It was some small solace for the team which lost out on pole position just over an hour ago due to a pre-start procedure violation in Hyperpole.
In second place was Robin Frijns aboard the #20 BMW M Team WRT Hybrid V8, followed by Mike Conway in the #7 Toyota Racing TR010 Hybrid in third.
Alpine Endurance Team’s Ferdinand Habsburg completed the required five laps at night to be certified to drive overnight, as did JOTA Cadillac driver Earl Bamber and United Autosports LMP2 driver Rasmus Lindh.
Ben Barnicoat in the #183 AF Corse ORECA 07-Gibson was the quickest combo in LMP2, the Englishman set a 3:36.189, to lead the #30 Duqueine Team ORECA and #37 CLX Motorsport ORECA.
And it was a Corvette 1-2 in LMGT3, headed by the #33 TF Sport Corvette Z06 LMGT3.R driven by Jonny Edgar to its best lap time (3:55.262).
Behind it was the #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF ‘Vette in second, while the #23 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage AMR LMGT3 split up a potential Corvette top three lockout.
All 60 minutes of this final practice were completed with no major incidents or mechanical issues.
