No messing about then!
How much faster are they going to need (want) to go, I wonder? |

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.

Loving listening to Brad Kettler on RLM. Absolute fountain of knowledge.

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? |

Okay, now it's time for a new outright lap record.
Go on Toyota, it's obviously on... |

So is the plan to persuade Porsche there isn't much point in turning up for the race.....?

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. |

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. |

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. |

14 laps at full pace.
So Toyota have the pace and the stint length. |
