Five LMP1 cars versus five LMP2 cars are in the Top 10 at the end of the third free practice session, which has been disrupted by two red flags. 25 minutes in the session, the IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche went off and ten minutes before the checkered flag, the CRS Racing Ferrari went on fire. The cars came back to the pits and it marked the end of today’s free practice sessions.
Both Team Rebellion Racing cars set the best times and in the LMP2 class, Strakka Racing posted the best time and was able to work their way through the LMP1 field as they were fourth overall.
In the FLM class, Team Applewood Seven chalked up the best time, as the unfortunate #91 CRS Racing Ferrari crew did in the LMGT2 class. The #77 Team Felbermayr-Proton Porsche was right behind. The Porsche/Ferrari duel goes beyond all expectation. The night practice suggests a very promising race.
