WEC Qatar: Porsche remains unbeaten in truncated second practice
In the recent sports car practice session, Kevin Estre, driving the Porsche Penske Motorsport’s #6 963 LMDh, set an impressive lap time of 1m39.990s in the opening moments before the session was interrupted due to a stoppage caused by the new Lamborghini SC63 LMDh. Estre was the only driver to surpass his teammate’s benchmark, with Frederic Makoweicki posting a time of 1m40.404s during the Prologue. Jean-Eric Vergne came closest to Estre’s time, recording 1m40.772s in the #93 Peugeot, followed by Jenson Button in the #38 Jota Porsche. The session saw multiple red flags, including one triggered by Isotta Fraschini’s Tipo 6 LMH and another due to Mirko Bortolotti’s Lamborghini SC63 experiencing mechanical issues. The practice was eventually called off early, leaving Estre on top, with the Toyota GR010 Hybrid trailing in eighth place. Ferrari dominated the LMGT3 class, securing a one-two finish with the AF Corse team.
