WEC, 6 Hours of Mexico, Motorsport

The third and final Free Practice session has been completed, with the teams and drivers now preparing for qualifying this evening at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.

Porsche finished the 60-minute session at the top of the timing screens with Nick Tandy setting a 1m25.678 lap, 0.111s ahead of the improved no8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid of Seb Buemi.  However Tandy’s times were cancelled after the stewards imposed a penalty for speeding in the pitlane (decision no 3), promoting the Toyota into the top spot for the first time this weekend.

The no38 Jackie Chan DC Racing continues to be the car to beat with Alex Brundle setting a 1m33.130 lap, just 0.014 ahead of Nico Lapierre in the no36 Signatech Alpine.

The no71 AF Corse Ferrari was quickest in LMGTE Pro with Sam Bird setting a 1m39.722 lap, just 0.096 ahead of the no66 Ford GT, with the no92 Porsche 911 in third place.

It was a Porsche 1-2 in LMGTE Am with the no86 Gulf Racing 911 of Ben Barker getting the better of Matteo Cairoli in the no77 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche for the first time this weekend.

Qualifying for the 6 Hours of Mexico is due to start at 17h50 (Local) / 00h50 CET.
