In fact, Paul di Resta hastened the end of the session two minutes before its conclusion by ending up in the gravel trap.

In the lead, Antonio Fuoco moved the #50 Ferrari 499P to the top of the standings with a 1:31.238, a few tenths of a second slower than the record he had set the day before with a 1:31.238: 30,957. The BMW M Hybrid V8s also shone, with a top 3 for two Bavarian LMDhs: #15 completed the lap in 1:31.272 (+0.034 s), with #20 trailing by 0.305 s (1: 31.543).
