The scheduled Time for the Qualifying Practice 3 was 22:00. But after the Qualifying Practice 2 was canceled at 20:30 insteed of 21:00 the ACO decided to set the starting Time for Qualifying Practice 3 at 21:30 to give the Teams and Driver a Chance to have their practice Time. In Le Mans is it not possible to add the 30 Minutes at the end of the Session. The most of the Circuit are public Roads and at 01:00 they are reopened for the Traffic.

A quiet day at the Track. Pit lane is open for Pit walks. Lots of Fans hanging around and try to get autographs or photos with the Drivers. But no Track action on Friday. Some Attractions around the Track. Some Clubs are organizing exibitons of their Cars around the Track, like in Arnage or on the Camping Sites.
In the afternoon is the Drivers Parade in Center of Le Mans.




But for me it was time for relaxing, after five Days of action

So I went to the Zoo in La Flèche and enjoyed just a quiet Day.


Later in the afternoon at the Caming Site I enjoyed the french country site and had some Beer and Steaks.
