Peugeot topped FP3 at the Bahrain International Circuit ahead of qualifying for the eight-hour event later today
Peugeot returned to the top of the times in final practice for this weekend’s season finale of the World Endurance Championship in Bahrain. Jean-Eric Vergne set the pace in the Friday morning Free Practice 1 session aboard the #93 Peugeot 9X8 2024 Le Mans Hypercar, following up on Paul di Resta’s table-topping performance in FP1 on Thursday. The Frenchman’s 1m49.443s set at the beginning of the 60-minute session gave him a margin of two tenths over second-placed Yifei Ye, who got down to a 1m40.
Fuoco only completed seven laps before pitting because of a suspected issue with a cable in the front Motor Generator Unit and the car did not return to the track. The two customer Jota Porsche 963 LMDhs rounded out the top 10 with Norman Nato just shading Oliver Rasmussen. Toyota took 11th with the fastest of its pair of GR010 HYBRID LMHs with Kamui Kobayashi at the wheel, while the championship-leading factory Porsche 963 was 12th in the hands of Andre Lotterer.
