Audi’s trio of R18 e-tron quattros have completed the perfect build up to the Le Mans 24 Hour following the morning warm-up.

Leader of the four-ringed charge was Rene Rast in the #9 LMP1 who clocked 3:19.42s around the 13.6 circuit.

Rast proved 2.3s faster than the #8 Audi of Oliver Jarvis while the #7 car, unbeaten in two WEC starts this season, was third fastest with Andre Lotterer at the wheel.

Romain Dumas was next in the #18 Porsche ahead of Mark Webber’s #17 Porsche 919 Hybrid.

The fastest of the Nissan GTR-LM trio was the #22 driven by Alex Buncombe in 3:45.73 after he completed eight laps.

Corvette’s shocking run continued with the Larbre Competition #50 C7R driven by Gianluca Roda crashing heavily at the Porsche Curves.

The JOTA Sport Gibson Nissan driven by Oliver Turvey was the fastest in LMP2 with Stefan Mucke in the #97 Aston fastest in GTE Pro.
