Toyota led Peugeot in the final World Endurance Championship practice session for this weekend’s 6 Hours of Fuji, with home hero Kamui Kobayashi setting the fastest time aboard the #7 GR010 HYBRID.Practice began on a wet track following a brief shower earlier on Saturday morning, but conditions improved sufficiently for slick tyres to be fitted just 15 minutes into the session.
Alex Lynn was the first driver to break the 1m31s barrier, lapping the former Japanese Grand Prix venue in 1m30.915s in the solo Cadillac V-Series.R. That time wouldn’t be usurped until the end of the session, putting Toyota on the front foot ahead of qualifying for its home event. JOTA's fellow customer Porsche squad Proton Competition also outpaced the factory 963s despite starting the weekend with an entirely new chassis that only completed 10 laps in a shakedown prior to Fuji, with Harry Tincknell setting the car’s best time of 1m30.710s to end up fifth.
The two factory Porsche cars completed the top 10, both ending up more than a second off the pace of the chart-topping Toyota, with the #50 Ferrari and the Vanwall completing the Hypercar field.
