After the best time in JOTA No. 12 on Monday, it's another Porsche which is leading the times this Tuesday morning, but an official Porsche this time. The n°5 Penske Porsche set the best time thanks to Frédéric Makowiecki in 1'41″223, ahead of the Peugeot n°94 and the other official Porsche, n°6. The second Peugeot 9X8, number 93, completes the Top 4.

• Little alert at Alpine : the #424 A35, then driven by Charles Milesi, had to stop on the track mid-session at turn 5, causing a red flag for around ten minutes. The reason for this stoppage is still unknown, but theAlpine #35 did not return to the track after this incident, and was only able to complete 50 laps.
