The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans continues on Thursday 12 June with FP3, Hyperpole and FP4.
Wednesday saw the opening day of practice and qualifying, with Cadillac leading the way in the latter with the No.12 Jota car.
Toyota suffered a difficult evening as the No.7 car failed to make it into the top 15 cutoff to progress to Q2, while the No.6 Porsche was disqualified for a weight limit infringement.
Three hours of practice start the day's running, before Hyperpole for all classes this evening and a final practice tonight.
Thursday 2025 Le Mans schedule:
We've just had our first look at the No.009 Aston Martin Hypercar entry.
It has gained an unexpected entry to Hyperpole this evening due to Porsche's No.6 being disqualified.
That means Aston, on its comeback to the top class at Le Mans, will have one car in Hyperpole.
Bit of a mixed bag for Toyota yesterday. It lost one car from the Hyperpole cutoff in qualifying, while the No.8 had a tangle in the FP2 session in the evening.
However, the news on the latter incident was positive from the Toyota camp this morning when we spoke to Brendon Hartley.
“We had a little hiccup with Ryo [Hirakawa] at the end of FP2 yesterday. Good news is most of the parts were not the race parts, so they were anyway going to get changed for today."
There was a pretty heavy thunderstorm this morning at Le Mans and that will have washed a lot of the rubber off track for this session.
The big news coming into Thursday's action was the disqualification of the No.6 Porsche Penske entry from last night's qualifying.
The car was found to be under the weight limit rules.

Pitlane is open for FP3 at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As it happens, the delay message has gone and we will be getting going on time.
This should be a short delay. There was a red flag in the previous Porsche Challenge race, and now there's a Hydrogen-powered car doing a demo lap.
Race control has just thrown a delay to the start of FP3. No new info given on a start time.
It's not quite as warm as it was yesterday. There's some cloud cover and a bit of a wind blowing.
Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Thursday is a packed day that will see pole position decided.
But first, we have a three-hour FP3 session coming up at 2:45pm CET.
