Baneforholdene var bedst i den første del af tidtagningen og alt så ud til at det skulle være Audi der tog de bedste tider. Men i den sidste halve time sendte Peugeot et signal om at de bestemt har meget at byde ind med, da Sarrazin med tiden 3:27,033 - 9/10 hurtigere end Audi'erne. Casper Elgaard og Hope-teamet har noget at indhente, da de samlet blot ligger på en 21. plads.
I LMP2 var det Strakka Racing med Jonny Kane der kørte hurtigst. Senere kørte hans holdkammerat dog raceren af, hvilket kostede et rødt flag.
Kampen i GTE klassen er yderst intenst hvor fire mærker ligger ekstremt tæt. BMW kom bedst ud af den første duel, hvor trioen Priaulx/Muller/Hand var bedst foran den stærke Ferrari-trio Fisichella/Bruni/Vilander. Jan Magnussen ligger på 4. pladsen for Corvette, mens Allan Simonsen blot er på en 9. plads. Men der er mindre end to sekunder op til den bedste tid, så det ligger efter Le Mans forhold, meget tæt i klassen. Det lover godt for 24 timers løbet.
