Yesterday at La Sarthe was mostly the publicity shots for the manufacturers and sponsors, but this was the entire line-up on the start straight...

   

That sky looks ominous, but the local weather forecast looks okay for the weekend...

   

A small risk of rain on Saturday night / Sunday morning.

The schedule for today is...

• 14:00-17:00 Free Practice 1
  
• 19:00-20:00 Qualifying (live on Eurosport + highlights)
  
• 22:00-0:00 Free Practice 2 (live on Eurosport)
  

These local times are one hour ahead of British Summertime.

There's also a documentary "Wheels & Heels" running on Eurosport and Discovery+ about the Richard Mille Racing Team #1 Oreca 07 LMP2 driven by Tatiana Calderón, Beitske Visser and Sophia Floersch...

   

The trio's debut at Le Mans last year saw a strong ninth place finish in LMP2 - 13th overall. Despite a highly competitive, 25-car LMP2 line-up, they aim to go even better this weekend.
