Le Mans 24 Hours qualifying hit with first red flag
The first part of qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours was suspended due to the #60 Mercedes LMGT3 breaking down at the Ford Chicane, with driver Andrew Gilbert reporting a loss of fuel pressure, leading to red flags being waved for recovery.
The session was stopped with 15:15 minutes remaining on the clock, allowing marshals to clear gravel from the track after several cars had gone off course in the initial 14:45 of qualifying.
LMP2 and LMGT3 are having a shared session, with the top 12 cars from each category advancing to Hyperpole tomorrow, where the Hypercar class will also join in.
