Silverstone, Free 3: Peugeot tops (...)

Peugeot dominated the third free session cut short by red flags. In the early stages, the Mik Corse Zytek 09 Hybrid caught fire and it took the marshals several minutes to put it out. Stéphane Sarrazin set the fastest time in 1m 44.879s in the no.8 Peugeot 908 from team-mate Simon Pagenaud in no. 7 (1m 45.015s), who improved at the end of the session.

In LM P2, the Greaves Motorsport ZytekZ11S-Nissan was quickest in 1m 50.711s. In Formula Le Mans another British squad, Neil Garner Motorsport emerged on top in 2m 01.909s.

The JMW Motorsport Ferrari 458 Italia set the pace in the LM GTE Pro category in 2m 02.655s, while the Imsa Performance Matmut Porsche 997 topped the time sheets in LM GTE Am in 2m 04.448s. Qualifying will began at 13h35 local time.
