Nicolas Lapierre, driving the #36 Alpine A480, was on pole for much of the session but was beaten by the Toyotas on their final lap. He set a 3:24.850 midway through the session, ringing the neck of the Oreca-built car, but couldn’t go quicker to steal pole away.

Briscoe in the #709 got pinged multiple times for track limits, as did many drivers, including Hartley and Kobayashi in the Toyotas.

He eventually set a legal time of 3:25.841, almost one and a half seconds off Hartley
Finally, Olivier Pla in the #709 Glickenhaus set a 3:26.359, almost two seconds off Hartley and half a second off his teammate Briscoe.
