The fourth and final practice session of the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours went, again, to the Ferrari 499P, with the #51 shared by Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado in 3:27.575.

 

The car, which will start from the front row at 4pm on Saturday, edged out the Glickenhaus 007 LMH #709 of Nathanaël Berthon, Esteban Gutierrez and Franck Mailleux by 1.003s.

 

Third place went to the Porsche 963/Hertz Team Jota, ahead of Action Express Racing's Cadillac V-Series.R #311 and the Porsche 963 #6. The #7 Toyota GR010 HYBRID finished the session in 6th place, 1.648s off the reference time, ahead of the #50 Ferrari. Jean-Eric Vergne's Peugeot 9X8 #93 followed in the standings, despite the car had to deal with an electrical problem on the track, resulting in a red flag. Competitors were given an extra 15 minutes of track time after this procedure.

 

Racing Team Turkey's Oreca 07 n°923 came out on top in LMP2, thanks to Dries Vanthoor, ahead of #65 Panis Racing, #63 Prema, #23 United Autosports #23, #80 AF Corse and #28 Jota. Twelve laps were completed by the Oreca 07/IDEC Sport after its best time in Hyperpole.

 

The Ferrari 488 GTEs took the lead in GTE-Am thanks to JMW Motorsport ahead of Kessel Racing #57. The #60 Iron Lynx Porsche 911 RSR and #16 Proton Competition are just behind.

 

Three cars didn't set a single lap time: Cadillac #3, Aston Martin/ORT by TF, Porsche/Proton #911. The Cadillac's fire was caused by a fuel pipe during Hyperpole, with Sébastien Bourdais at the wheel when the incident occured.

 

Next will be Warm-Up at noon on Saturday.
