20:52
Ferrari only fifth at the moment with the No.50 car.
20:51
Lynn splits the Porsches to go second in the No.12 Cadillac.
20:51
That was a new set of mediums that Buemi was on when he suffered the puncture.
20:50
Five minutes to go, the No.20 BMW of Sheldon van der Linde is up to third.
20:50
Alex Lynn was on a good lap in the No.12 Jota Cadillac but has lost a heap of time in sector two.
20:49
Pole for Porsche in this session would be the 700th pole for Roger Penske, which would be some achievement.
20:49
The No.8 Toyota is not back in pits yet! Just six minutes to go.
20:48
It's a Porsche 1-2 currently with the No.4 car of Nick Tandy in second. No.12 Jota Cadillac is third.
20:48
Porsche goes fastest with the No.5 car of Mathieu Jaminet with a 3m23.475s.
20:47
The No.8 Toyota has gone off. That looked to be down at Mulsanne. He has a puncture. With eight minutes to go, that's a disaster!
20:45
New tyres for the No.20 BMW, likewise the No.38 Jota Cadillac of Earl Bamber.
20:44
The No.15 BMW of Dries Vanthoor has come straight into pitlane after his outlap.
20:43
Jack Aitken, No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R, P1 in Hyperpole1:
"It was a really fun lap. The Cadillac felt incredible. It was just giving more and more. The second lap, I saw the speed was there and I just started to throw everything at the track and it ended up being quite a good one. It's always fun to drive these cars on low fuel, and to do it on the biggest and baddest circuit here is really fun.”
20:42
Conditions are still lovely this evening here at Le Mans and there is a very healthy crowd watching trackside for this pole shootout in the Hypercar class.
20:40
Green flag - Hyperpole 2
The pole shootout session is go!
The session runs for 15 minutes and Cadillac come into chasing a very first pole at Le Mans.
20:35
Ferrari still has a shot to take pole, but maybe it was correct when it said pre-weekend it wasn't the favourite.
Qualy is one thing, of course, but losing two cars from Hyperpole will still sting.
20:34
Out of qualifying:
No. 51 Ferrari
No.35 Alpine
No.83 AF Corse Ferrari
No.101 Cadillac WTR
No.009 Aston Martin
20:33
