JOTA’s Da Costa beats Hypercars to quickest time in Portimao FP1
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Antonio Felix da Costa has set the quickest time in opening practice for the Eight Hours of Portimao, beating out the Hypercars from Alpine, Toyota and Glickenhaus.

Both Toyota and Alpine held the top spot at various points through the 90-minute session at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve, but the session was ultimately decided in Da Costa’s favor when he posted a 01:33:752 aboard the #38 ORECA 07-Gibson to go quickest of all.

The gaps at the top of the field were extremely tight, however. The #36 Alpine A480-Gibson of Nicolas Lapierre sat in second, just 0.029s behind the JOTA ORECA, with the quickest of the Toyotas, the #8 GR010 Hybrid, just a few hundredths further back in third overall.

The top four was covered off by just over half a tenth, as the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid went fourth overall, just 0.055s behind.
