Two 20-minute sessions, one for the 30 cars in the LMP category, the other for the 20 cars in the GTE category, made it possible to establish an unprecedented grid, that of the first edition of the 24 Hours of Virtual Le Mans .
In the LMP, the ByKolles – Burst Esport crew took pole position, with a time of 3’23”380, achieved by the simracer Simoncic. The crew of Dillmann-Guerrieri-Simoncic-Pedersen will therefore start in pole position tomorrow at 3 p.m. under the orders of the official starter, Tony Parker.
In the LMP, we will note the 5th time in the category of Max Verstappen’s car, the 11th in the Panis father and son car, or the 13th in time for the crew of Fernando Alonso and the 19th in the LMP driven among others by Pierre Gasly and Jean-Eric Vergne. The two official Toyota cars sign the 17th and 18th times.
In GTE, pole position returns to Porsche # 93, with a time of 3’46”550 for esports driver Rogers. This official Porsche Esports Team car will be driven by Tandy-Güven-Rogers-Ostgaard.
Note the 9th category performance of Charles Leclerc’s crew, on the Ferrrari # 52, and the 19th category lap time of the Ferrari # 54 Strong Together. For the GTE qualifications, the esports experts were asked for this pure speed exercise.
With 50 machines entered, and 200 pilots of 37 nationalities on simulators, this pioneering 24 Hours race run on the big circuit of Le Mans, promises to be disputed.
See you for the grid tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. For a race, a real one!
