In the qualifying session for the Motul Petit Le Mans, the worsening track conditions due to heavy mist posed a challenge for the GTP cars. Despite the difficult conditions, Louis Deletraz of Wayne Taylor Racing claimed the GTP pole position with a time of 1m15.402s. Deletraz expressed his preference for dry qualifying but felt confident in the team’s performance on wet tires. While this pole position helped the No. 10 team move to the top of the championship standings, it is unlikely to impact their overall strategy for the race. However, having three cars between them and their closest championship contender, the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport, could have an impact during the race. Deletraz, who will be a full-time driver for the team next season, was thrilled with his first career WeatherTech Championship pole position.
