Toyota are not hanging around are they?

Nevermind 3:19, that'll be ticked off in the next hour. I'm excited at the thought of a 3:18 now. On TEST DAY.

Buemi just set about 5 laps in a row under 3:23, including three laps in the 3:20 bracket. And still pushing. Looks like those laps were the start of an actual race-style stint.

Kettler reminds me of a guy I know that has the worst, most boring voice ever, but can make any topic absolutely riveting.

Live timing good on the android, but not on desktop. Anyone figured something out?

Safe to say Toyota are blindingly quick in the short term. Buemi just put in a 3:20 on the 9th lap of the stint.

Remains to be seen what happens on the double, triple, quadruple stints for the tires.

My desk - it'll be a couple of years before I can get to a race.

I hope it buckets it down for all you race-goers

Elsewhere Corvette and Porsche really battling over the best times. I think on the BoP merrygoround those are the two teams I think will be right up there this year.

Particularly in the case of Porsche, you just knew they were going to come good for Le Mans.

I'm fairly excited for a dogfight on GTE. However I think everyone is still holding the cards close to their chest.
Corvette and Porsche led the times at last years test day in the 3:55 range....And we all know how that turned out. Safe to say "we ain't seen nothing yet..."

I actually think the Ford and Ferrari may be working on getting an extra lap advantage on the pit stops. Despite ACO wanting everyone to do 14 laps.

Vanthoor the quickest guy now in P2. Far too good to not have a seat for this race.

Vanthoor 3:29.585. He's well on his way to getting the next 919 seat that's open.

Although he probably wants to be in line for a TS050 drive Toyota right now...

Buemi with a quick stint and going onto a 13th lap on fuel.

EDIT: Make that 14th.

So Toyota have the pace and the stint length.
