Having missed Sunday’s test due to other racing commitments, Sébastien was immediately out on track. Official action at Le Mans began earlier in the afternoon with three hours of first practice. Brendon, who took pole last year, was at the wheel for qualifying and set the fourth quickest time.

Last year’s winners Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will also be in the hunt for pole position on Thursday in their #8 GR010 HYBRID. His lap of 3mins 25.485secs was just 0.272secs behind the pace-setting #50 Ferrari. Kamui Kobayashi, who can equal Jacky Ickx’s mark of five Le Mans pole positions, comfortably reached Hyperpole, setting the third fastest time in the #7 GR010 HYBRID he shares with Mike Conway and José María López. Both GR010 HYBRIDs qualified for Thursday’s Hyperpole contest, when the fastest eight cars from each class will fight for pole position, to keep hopes of a new record firmly alive.
