Kevin Estre: #6 Porsche “Ran Like a Dream” in Le Mans Test

Kevin Estre highlighted the impressive performance of Porsche’s number 6 car during testing at Le Mans. The French driver clocked 03:26.907 on the second day of testing, securing the best time and putting the team in a great position for the race. Estre expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the vehicle, saying that “from the first lap, the car ran like a dream, and I immediately had a wonderful feeling.”.

Le Mans testing is essential for teams to fine-tune their cars before the main race, and Estre said the team made significant progress with the car set-up during the day. He emphasised that at the beginning of the second session, he had completed two clean laps without slower traffic, and the times reflected the efficiency of the vehicle.

Estre emphasised that, compared to last year, the team is in a more favourable position, showing a significant improvement in the car’s performance. Only the #4 Porsche, driven by Mathieu Jaminet, Felipe Nasr, and Nick Tandy, came close to the time set by Estre by less than half a second.

Jaminet, who finished the second fastest time, emphasised the pleasure of returning to Le Mans and testing different car configurations. He said that all three Porsche cars managed to achieve good times, showing that the team is ready to compete on equal terms in the main race.

Another driver who praised the performance of the #5 Porsche, driven by Matt Campbell, Michael Christensen, and Frederic Makowiecki, was Christensen. He said the test was crucial for the team and that the car responded well to the set-up changes. Christensen emphasised that the conditions were excellent and that the team managed to achieve almost everything it had planned in the test.

Testing at Le Mans is essential to ensure the cars are in the best possible condition before the main race. This is an opportunity for teams to fine-tune the final details and ensure everything is perfect before the competition begins.

With the excellent performance of Porsche #6 during the tests, Porsche shows confidence for the main race. Fans are looking forward to the next stages and the main event, where they will be able to see the teams compete at their best.
