Remember that although pole last year by the Ferrari was 3.22.9, Fuoco had heavy traffic in Indianapolis and Arnage. There was a high 3.21 in that Ferrari last year. Conditions this year are cool. It is very conducive to fast lap times compared to last year. |

The 15 BMW in hypercar and the 99 Proton Porsche still have not done any laps in this session. This is not good for their preparations.

Edit - With hypercar relying more on straight-line speed to make lap time, we'll probably see more slip streaming shenanigans this year too. |

Me neither. 3:26s on Test Day is the sort of lap time you'd see in the LMP1 days.

They need to show tire compounds in the live timing. It's difficult to understand what people are doing and which laps are set with what tire. Teams have the Soft, Medium, and Hard tires available.

the TV production for other WEC races has good graphics showing which tire is on all 4 corners and how many laps they have each done. That would be cool to see on T&S

Surprised to see a Lambo and BMW in the top 10 right now.

Yes but the initial acceleration was much faster for LMP1-H so higher top speed doesn't have to translate into "close enough" straight line performance to be quick enough for a 3:19 lap. I think a more direct comparison would be vs the R13 for example as LMH/LMDh cars don't have the hybrid boost that LMP1-Hs had. They are probably a bit quicker in a straight line due to more power and less drag maybe but in the Porsche curves that Rebellion was a rocketship in comparison. Would be fun if you're right that sub-3:20 is possible but I remain skeptical

Was there a red flag at the end? Why is the 7 Toyota shown as "Stop" in the living timing and everyone else "In"? The only other car showing "Stop" is the Vector Sport LMP2 which crashed at Indianpolis. So did the Toyota also have a crash?

According to DSC, damage to the #7 from Koba's crash appeared to be just cosmetic, which is good.

The Toyotas look to have pretty good pace compared to a lot of the other Hypercars, but at this point i reckon Porsche have an advantage on the rest though.

As well as the SC test, the timing screen test, in addition to actual testing cars and drivers we see another usual test phenomena. The ACO ate laying down the law heavily on track limits.
