Toyota’s Seb Buemi sets pace in night practice at Le Mans

Sebastien Buemi was fastest in the second practice session for the 22025 24 Hours of Le Mans for Toyota, with a 3:26.156.

The #12 Cadillac of Norman Nato was second, ahead of the #83 AF Corse Ferrari of Yifei Ye. However, the #83 Ferrari had been fastest until the very end of the session, when Robert Kubica’s lap times got deleted as the pole had sped in the pit lane. Kubica had set a 3:25.101 before it was deleted.

Fourth was the #4 Porsche of Pascal Wehrlein, with Miguel Molina in the #50 Ferrari fifth.

A late incident between the #8 Toyota of Ryo Hirakawa and Casper Stevenson in the #57 Kessel Ferrari 296 GT3 saw the two make contact at Karting corner exiting the Porsche Curves. Both had damage, but made it safely back to the pits.
