Kamui Kobayashi has rescued top spot for Toyota Gazoo Racing with a late lap in the sole Le Mans 24 Hours practice to bump out Stoffel Vandoorne’s long-time leading effor🐓t for SMP Racing in a session stalled by intermittent rain and a red flag.

The former M🌳cLaren Formul🌟a 1 driver produced a 3m 19.931s at the start of the final hour of the four-hour practice in conditions at their best after rain arrived mid-session.

That lap looked set to take top spot until Kob🦩ayashi went quicker in the #7 Toyota, by an impressive 1.840s, with just under two minutes of the session remaining.

With the #11 SMP Racing𝐆 was shuffled to second place late on, the #3 Rebellion Racing also narrowly missed out in thi𝓀rd place just 0.029s of Vandoorne’s effort.

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

But there was no improvement from the #8 Toyota, with Kazuki Nakajima held up by yellow flags on his final lap, meaning last year’s Le Mans 🐬winners remained fourth fastest and almost two seconds off the sister Toyota at the fi♛nish.

The #1 Rebellion Racing car completed the top five ahead of the☂ #17 SMP Racing comfortably ahead of the DragonSpeed and the ByKolles Racing.

In LMP2, last year’s class pole-sitter IDEC Sport Oreca grabbed top spot with a🔥 3m 28.363s൩ to pull out over three-tenths on the #31 DragonSpeed Oreca with Anthony Davidson at the wheel. 2018’s dethroned LMP2 winners G-Drive Racing Aurus grabbed third spot in class.

In GTE Pro, the Porsche duo dominated with Laurens Vanthoor placin🍰g the #92 911 RSR at the top of the times 0.315s quicker than the #94 driven by Mathieu Jaminet at the end of theꦿ session. The #71 AF Corse Ferrari led the charge just in front of the #66 Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK.

In GTE Am, the #77 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche leꦆad ༒from the #54 Spirit of Race Ferrari.

The four-hour practice session was red flไagged midway through by a heavy crash for Tracy Krohn in the #99 Dempsey-Proton Porsche at the second Mulsanne chicane. A 46-minute delay was required to repair the track barrier, while Krohn was taken to hospital for checks having suffered back pain in the high-speed off.
