The Ferrari N.50 will start from pole position on Saturday for the 91st edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, ahead of its sister car, the Ferrari N.51, after setting the fastest time in the Hyperpole on Thursday evening on the Bugatti circuit. During this Hyperpole, which determines the first four rows in each category (Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGTE AM), the crew formed by Italian Antonio Fuoco, Spaniard Miguel Molina and Dane Nicklas Nielsen is the only one to have passed under the 3 min 23 sec barrier.
The Toyotas, favourites of this century-old edition in the premier category of Hypercars, will start only 3rd with the Toyota N.8, winner in 2022 and 5th with the N.7. The Porsche N.75 was sandwiched between the two cars of the Japanese brand. The Hyperpole was interrupted about ten minutes shortly before the end of the session due to a fire for the Cadillac N.3 of Sébastien Bourdais. The crew, a provisional 3rd time on the grid, will start 8th.
