Le Mans: Alpine quickest in practice 3, Toyota #8 crashes
Ahead of Hyperpole qualifying, Nicolas Lapierre for Alpine ELF Matmut turned the fastest lap in the third free practice session for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, round four of FIA WEC.
The Session red flagged twice after accidents on entry to the Dunlop chicane, one for the #8 Toyota. In the final half hour, Kazuki Nakajima went off the road in the left-hand part of Indianapolis, damaging the rear of his #8 Toyota against the barriers but ultimately recovering his car to the pits.
LMGTE Pro category was led by Porsche GT Team with Kevin Estre at the wheel.
Antonio Felix da Costa was fastest for JOTA in LMP2, while Julien Andlauer was fastest for the Dempsey Proton Porsche squad in the LMGTE Am category.
