Key takeaway: The Mercedes-AMG GT3 emerged as the car to beat, with Will Power and Maxime Martin setting the pace. However, the session was equally defined by the struggles of Porsche and Ferrari, as well as surprising performances from lower-rated drivers. The data revealed critical insights into tire degradation, sector-specific strengths, and co-driver dynamics.
Biggest surprise: Jason Hart, a Silver-rated driver, outperformed several Platinum-rated drivers, setting a fastest lap time of 107.8 seconds. His performance was particularly strong in Sector 2, where he excelled despite his lower license rating.
Top performers: Will Power, Maxime Martin, Sandy Mitchell, Jason Hart, Ben Barker
