EL3 – The #8 Toyota still ahead at Fuji

Big favorite for the 6 Hours of Fuji due to the Success Handicap system, the Toyota No. 8 is performing flawlessly for the moment. Credited with a 1'25"621, the trio Buemi-Hartley-Nakajima leads the sister car by 0”206 and the #0 Rebellion R551 by 13”1. The two Ginetta G60 LT P1 bring up the rear, more than a second behind the reference mark.

In LM P2, Michelin regains its colors and sets the best time thanks to the No. 29 Oreca of Racing Team Nederland at the wheel of which we find Van der Garde-Van Eerd-De Vries. The top three is completed by the 07s from Jota Sport and Cool Racing. Followed by Jackie Chan DC Racing, United Autosports and Signatech Alpine, a very discreet stable for the moment.

Porsche confirms its hold on the GTE Pro thanks to the n°91 of Bruni-Lietz, but theAston Martin Sorensen-Thiim’s #95 is only 0”1 and Martin-Lynn’s #97 is 0”6. The two follow Ferrari 488 GTE Evo from AF Corse, which still concedes more than 0”6 to the faster of the two 911 RSR-19s.

Dempsey-Proton Racing is at the forefront of GTE Am with the #77 from Ried-Campbell-Pera, but it is only 0" ahead of the #2 Ferrari 488 GTE from AF Corse, although it is weighed down. to his victory at Silvertone.

Now on to qualifying, at 6:10 a.m. French time.
