Only one other car got within half a second of Estre’s time an🃏d that was the #4 Porsche of Mathieu Jaminet, Felipe Nasr and Nick Tandy.
Speaking after the test, Estre said: “Our car ran like a dream from the very first lap and I imꦬmediately had a great feeling.
“During the test day🐓 we made further progress as part of the nඣormal setup work.
“❀At the start of the second session, I got two clear laps in without slowe🔜r traffic and my lap times reflected this.
“We’re definitely in a bett🎐er position compar🦄ed to last year.”
Setting the #4 car’s fastest time was Jaminet, who finished two tenths down on E🌜stre’s 𒆙time.
Jaminet said: “I only drove a few💦 la♛ps today, but it’s a great feeling to be back in Le Mans. We tried out many different vehicle setups and our lap times looked impressive.
“We made it into the to⛎p four with all three cars. 🎉Let’s hope that we can be that far ahead in all of next week’s sessions.”
Making it three factory Porsche’s inside the top four was the #5 car of Matt Campbell, Michael Christensen and Freder🎀ic Makowiecki.
While it was a busy test in terms of things to try, Christensen said everything they p♈lanned went smoothlyꦓ.
“It feels great to be back driving on this very special Le Mans circuit at last,” 🌺s𓃲aid Christensen.
“The conditions were suℱper today. Our car handled beautifully, and we managed to tick off almost everything on our test list.
“However, we still need to try out a few more things in the practice💃 sessions at the start of the race week. The test day is always critical – for us drivers and the whole team.”
