WEC releases revised 24 Hours of LeMans schedule

#7 Toyota

A revised schedule for the delayed 24 Hours of LeMans on September 19/20 includes an additional two and a half hours of free practice on the Wednesday of race week.

The start of the opening practice session Wednesday has been brought forward from 3:30pm to 1:00pm.

This five-hour session will be followed by a further three hours of practice starting at 8:00pm.

All drivers will now be required to undertake eight night-time laps during practice rather than the previous five, which reflects that the fact that an autumn race will include more running under the cover of darkness.
