Aston Martin Racing's Tomas Enge, a regular for Petersen/White Lightning in the American Le Mans Series, was second in GT1 at 3:50.848. He will be trying for his sixth consecutive class pole at Le Mans. Third was the other Corvette of Beretta, Gavin and Max Papis, 2.42 seconds off Magnussen's pace.

"Today has been the best pre-qualifying I have ever had with Corvette Racing," said Magnussen. "We managed to set up the car just the way we like it and made very good progress throughout the day. We now have a car with which we can attack hard without risking falling off, which is exactly what we'll need for the race because I think this year will be a tough one."

Flying Lizard Motorsports' Porsche was third-fastest in GT2 at the Le Mans test day.
Long, America's lone Porsche factory driver, posted a time of 4:01.598 for the French IMSA Performance Matmut team and its Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. Porsches held the top three spots with its new Type 997.

Risi Competizione's lead Ferrari F430 GT of Jaime Melo, Mika Salo and Johnny Mowlem was fourth in class at 1.82 seconds off Long's pace. The sister car of Tracy Krohn, Nic Jonsson and Colin Braun was seventh. Defending class winner Panoz sat sixth and eighth following strong performances by the Panoz Esperante GTLMs of Team LNT.
