Audi locked the top 3 of the test day classification ahead of the Le Mans 24 Hours, as Loïc Duval set the quickest lap aboard his Audi R18 e-tron.
The frenchman, who shares his car with Alan McNish and Tom Kristensen, set his best lap time at the end of the afternoon session in 3'22''583 - which was already nearly a second quickest than last year's pole position - after he had an heavy crash in the morning session. Duval leads the sister cars of Gene/Di Grassi/Jarvis and Lotterer/Fassler/Treluyer.
Both Toyota TS030 Hybrid took 4th and 6th positions on test day, Davidson/Buemi/Sarrazin leading the car driven by Wurz, Lapierre and Nakajima. The fourth Audi, driven by Marco Bonanomi who was on track to test 2014-spec Michelin tires, was 5th quickest.
Both Team Rebellion's Lola Toyota were again quickest of the independant teams, with the 7th quickest lap set by Prost, Jani and Heidfeld. The team OAK's Morgan Judd driven by Pla, Heinemeierand Brundle was the fastest of the LMP2 cars.
In GTE Pro, the best lap time was set by the Aston Martin Vantage driven by Turner, Mücke and Dumbreck. Aston also dominated the GTE Am category, with the quickest lap set by Jaime Campbell Walter.
The Le Mans 24 Hours will be presented on June 22nd and 23rd.
