Alex Lynn, despite securing an impressive pole position for Cadillac and JOTA at Le Mans, emphasized to the gathered media, including Motorsport Week, that the qualifying session was challenging for him. Lynn described the session as tricky due to the limited time he had to jump in the car and set a fast lap, without a proper warm-up run.
