If the Acura / Penske association dominated the first two free practice sessions, the Mazda RT24-Ps of Team Joest responded during the night session. At the wheel of the No. 55 he shares with Oliver Jarvis and Tristan Nunez, René Rast set the best time in 1'48"233, which allowed him to beat the sister car driven by Harry Tincknell by 0"4. , Spencer Pigot and Jonathan Bomarito. In third place, at 0”5, we find the No. 5 Cadillac DPi-VR of Felipe Nasr-Eric Curran-Mike conway.
The top five is completed by the No. 2 Onroak Nissan DPi from Sharp-Dalziel-Pla and the No. 07 Oreca 54 from Core Autosport. At the wheel of the latter, Romain Dumas only conceded 0” to the reference mark, while ranking his car best in LM P8. If the ARX 2 n°05 of Castroneves-Taylor-Rahal maintains the best time of the day, the two Acuras from Team Penske were further behind this evening.
Ford confirms its control over the GTLM, the No. 66 of Hand-Müller-Bourdais s’étant hissée au sommet de la hiérarchie en 1’57 »371. Suivent la BMW M8 GTLM n°25 de Auberlen-Sims-De Phillipi et la Porsche 911 RSR n°912 de Bamber-Vanthoor-Bruni, à respectivement 0 »2 et 0 »4.

The two Corvette C7.Rs are at 1”2 and 1”3, while the second 911 RSR of Makowiecki-Pilet-Tandy brings up the rear.
Finally, in GTD, it was the No. 6 BMW M3 GT96 of Yount-Machavern-Palttala which stood out, although followed very closely by the Ferrari 488 GT3 of Dalla Lana-Lamy-Lauda and the Audi R8 LMS GT3 from Van der Linde-Mies-Picariello.
