Cadillacs appeared at the perfect time at the 6 Hours of Fuji. Discreet before Free Practice 3 this Saturday, the two V-Series.Rs showed up in the morning before taking pole position in the afternoon thanks to Alex Lynn. The Briton had already taken pole position for the Japanese event in 2024. He beat his teammate Earl Bamber, which allows Cadillac to lock down the front row for the third time this year after Le Mans and Sao Paulo.

Surprise of the weekend so far, Aston Martin completed the Hyperpole podium with the #009 Valkyrie driven by Marco Sørensen. The British manufacturer has a good chance of securing its first podium with the Valkyrie this Sunday. Peugeot could also score a second consecutive podium after Austin since the No. 93 will start from fourth place. On the side ofAlpine, Charles Milesi did no better than 9th place at the wheel of the No. 35.

In his quest for the Constructors' title, Ferrari will start from sixth place with the No. 51, well behind the two Cadillacs. The American manufacturer will have the opportunity to take back a lot of points from the Italian firm if they finish one-two this Sunday. The 2025 6 Hours of Fuji will start at 4:00 a.m. (Paris time).
