Ah, Italy. Great food, great wine, great motor racing…

A quick look at the number of laps after the first days practice.

LMGT3

Manthey and Iron Dames lead the way in laps completed. There was a little difference in approach.

Manthey’s longest run was at the end of fp2. The fastest lap came from Pera at the beginning of fp2.

Iron Dames did a long run towards the end of fp1 and this is where Gatting set the car’s fastest time. Towards the end of fp2 there were some shorter runs, but nothing to write home about with lap times.

LMGT3 lap times and trap speeds

#46 BMW leases the way with consistent lap times. Lexus is up there with quick laps; #87 grabbing the fastest. Indeed it is Lexus with the top speeds. Notably Ford is high up in the ranking.

HyperCar

BMW and Toyota leading the way. Toyota #8 did a lot of laps in fp1, but less in Fp2

Vanthoor didn’t get much running and BMW really was concentrating on those long runs and tyre knowledge.

The BMW #15 and Ferrari #51 tied for fastest. There was a different approach to practice. Although both went for qualifying type runs at the beginning of fp2.

After that #51 rotated through their drivers with relatively short stints.
