The Cadillacs are in high spirits for the start of the Petit weekend Le Mans. After Earl Bamber a little earlier in the day for Free Practice 1 on the No. 02, it's Sébastien Bourdais who was the fastest during the second driving session of the day. With a time of 1:09.040 recorded on his last lap, the Frenchman beat the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura driven by Tom Blomqvist by 0.302 seconds. Kamui Kobayashi completed the podium with the No. 48 Ally Express Racing Cadillac, 0.385 seconds behind.

In LM P2, the fastest time was set by Ryan Dalziel at the wheel of the No. 18 Era Motorsport Oreca. He beat Juan Pablo Montoya (DragonSpeed ​​USA n°81) and Anders Fjordbach (High Class Racing n°20).

Kay van Berlo was the fastest in LM P3 with the No. 320 Riley Motorsports Ligier JS P14. He got the better of Gabby Chaves (Andretti Autosport no. 36) and Garett Grist (Jr III Racing no. 30).

Already the fastest during Free Practice 1 in the GTD Pro category, Jack Hawksworth once again distinguished himself at the wheel of VasserSullivan's No. 3 Lexus RC F GT14 with a time of 1:18.912, allowing him to beat Jesse Krohn on the No. 4 BMW M3 GT25 of Team RLL and Antonio Garcia in the Corvette C8.R.
