Overall the pace is similar to last year.

Lappery – Lap Times – Sectors – Speed Trap – All Cars

Lappery

BMW are often at the top or near the top of laps in any practicing. The same in the first session today. Aston are normally near the bottom, that is not the case! Hurrah! Ferrari and Alpine take that position today!

Lap Times

Several lap times were deleted, included the #7 Toyota’s fastest lap due to track limits

Notes on cars that tripped the track limits wrath of the race director.

Afternoon Session

Morning Session

Drivers

Quite a few drivers still need to get some more laps in.

Approach of selected cars

These are a bit bitty because it is only the first session and cars are running through their system test and early part of their programme.

Aston Martin had the fastest lap

But 12 topped the averages

#7 Kobayahsi was top of the driver averages

Alpine was up there too

When were the times set?

All, but two car’s fastest laps were set in the afternoon session. The #7’s first session time did not count due to track limits.

Sectors

Aston Martin making their acceleration count.

Extra Sectors

The location and classification is outlined here.

Slow Corner Sectors

Fast Corner Sectors

Low Speed Acceleration Sectors

Aston Martin at the top – like last year. These are short sectors.

Medium Straights

Long Straights

Cadillac’s changes seem to be paying dividends here.

and that leads into Speed Trap…

Speed Trap

Genesis have a good start point to work with here.
Despite the quick times down the straight, Cadillac are not high on the speed trap figures.

Below gives an indication of the best tow laps and when the speeds started to drop off. So top 10 to 30 was used.
