GRRL! SUMMARY:
- DORIANE PIN delivered a masterclass at Le Mans, topping FP1 with 3:35.248 and qualifying with a blistering 3:34.662—fastest in every sector. The Duqueine Team #30 Oreca driver dominated LMP2, clearing rivals by over half a second.
- PIN’s return to La Sarthe since 2023 came after strong ELMS momentum. Stepping up from LMP2 Pro-Am to the highly competitive Pro class alongside Verschoor and Andlauer, she immediately established herself as a serious contender.
- LILOU WADOUX and Richard Mille AF Corse struggled in LMGT3 qualifying. Bronze-rated teammate Custodio Toledo piloted the striking Brazilian-liveried #150 Ferrari to 20th, missing the top-15 cutoff despite improving to 3:57.991—just 1.6 seconds off pace.
- WADOUX’s Ferrari crew arrived with strong credentials: ELMS title contenders in 2025 and fresh off a Sebring 12 Hours class victory. Two practice sessions remain to unlock speed before the endurance classic begins.
UPCOMING:
- 24 Hours of Le Mans – Race Start (Date TBD)
- Le Mans Night Practice Session – Wednesday Evening
- Le Mans Free Practice 3 – Thursday
