WEC 6H of Imola EL2: Ferrari still ahead… Vanthoor’s Porsche!

A good surprise came in second place, 342 thousand behind, from the Porsche 963 of championship leaders Laurens Vanthoor, Kevin Estre and André Lotterer. On-site tests seem to be paying off. The second 499P, in yellow of Kubica-Schwartzman-Yé, this time had to settle for 3rd place ahead of the first Toyota GR010, the number 8 of Sébastien Buemi ranked 7th behind. Stoffel Vandoorne’s Peugeot 9×8 has been released for the 6th time. It’s not bad and the BOP that the Belgian finds inappropriate.

After the fourth Lamborghini this morning, it was the Alpine that stood out during this session and the seventh time set by Mick Schumacher. The limitations, however, still remain high (1.5) and we obviously do not know which program, and which tires and their competitors were working with how much gasoline, such as the BMW V8 Hypercar WRT of the tenth and eleventh for 1.6 and 1.7 of the best performance of the day.

In GT, the best time for the TF Sport Corvette, this time the number 81 of our colleague Tom Van Rompuy, one of the main candidates for the pole. Ninth time for the Iron Lynx Lambo and only thirteenth for the BMW M4 WRT of Maxime Martin and Vale Rossi, without any worries since we prepared for the race.
