Le Mans 24h: Cadillac leads BMW in FP4

Cadillac topped the last free practice session for the Le Mans 24 Hours from BMW, moments after losing pole position to the German manufacturer

Cadillac edged out BMW in Free Practice 4 ahead of the Le Mans 24 Hours, as teams focused on race pace following the Hyperpole sessions.

Sebastien Bourdais’ 3m26.843s with the #38 Cadillac, albeit over four seconds slower than his own car’s Hyperpole benchmark, sufficed to surpass Robin Frijns’ 3m27.037s marker with the #20 BMW at the end of the session.

The #7 Toyota took third ahead of the #12 Cadillac and the #35 Alpine, with these three cars within half a second of Bourdais’ reference.

The #15 BMW, which inherited pole position following the #38 Cadillac’s penalty, was down in 15th, 2.7s off the pace.

However, this raw pecking order is near-meaningless.
