Le Mans: Toyota tops free practice
Toyota driver Anthony Davidson topped free practice for the Le Mans 24 Hours, a session shortened by a massive accident for Audi's Loic Duval.
Davidson set the best time in the #8 Toyota TS040 Hybrid of 2m23.652s. Then a red flag came out minutes later when Duval crashed at the Porsche Curves.
The #1 Audi R18 e-tron Quattro hit the debris fencing hard but Duval was confirmed to be conscious and communicating when he was taken to the medical centre for checks.
Marcel Fassler was second fastest in the #2 Audi, just 0.324s off the Toyota, but the strength of the Japanese marque was underlined by Kazuki Nakajima's third-best time in the #7 car.
The #1 Audi had briefly headed the timesheets in the hands of Lucas di Grassi, shortly before Duval's crash.
