Kamui Kobayashi took pole for the 6 Hours of Fuji in the #7 Toyota GR010 hypercar with a 1:29.234.

This was 0.020 faster than his teammate Brendon Hartley in the sister #7 Toyota GR010. In third was the #36 Alpine A480, fresh off its win last time out in Monza — but Mathieu Vaxiviere couldn’t beat the Toyotas this time, 0.212 off.

Fourth and fifth were the still-new Peugeot 9X8s, only competing in their second ever qualifying session. Jean-Eroc Vergne took fourth for the French manufacturer in the #93 Peugeot 9X8, 0.766 off, while Loic Duval was 0.918 off in the sister #94 9X8.

In LMP2, Antonio Felix da Costa in the #38 Jota Oreca 07-Gibson was quickest, taking pole with a 1:31.649. Nicklas Nielsen was second fastest in the #83 AF Corse Oreca 07-Gibson, just under three tenths off da Costa.
