The No. 91 Porsche 911 GT3 R, piloted by Daniel Allemann, Ralf Bohn, Robert Renauer and Alfred Renauer, set a combined time of 1:48.948.

It put them a full second clear of the No. 27 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo of Ian James, Roman de Angelis and Gray Newell, while the No. 88 Akkodis ASP Mercedes of Mauro Ricci, Jean-Luc Beaubelique, Jerome Policand and Benjamin Ricci completed the top three.

Erwan Bastard and Paul Evrard, sharing the No. 26 Sainteloc Junior Team Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, captured fourth position with Land Motorsport’s No. 55 Audi, driven by Stefan Wieniger, Tim Mueller and Christopher Mies, in fifth place.

The No. 21 HAAS RT entry completed a trio of Audis, followed by the No. 85 CP Racing Mercedes of Charles Espenlaub, Charles Putman and Shane Lewis.
