It's title day today in the WEC, with a three-way battle for the drivers' championship between the crews of the #6 Porsche (André Lotterer, Kévin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor), the #50 Le Mans-winning Ferrari ( Antonio Fuoco, Nicklas Nielsen, Miguel Molina) and the No. 7 Toyota (Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway, Nyck de Vries). The two Toyotas will start from the first row, the #50 Ferrari and the #6 Porsche will be on the third row of the grid.
In LMGT3, it is the two McLarens which are in the first positions following qualifying and the Hyperpole, in a category where Porsche has already taken the crown during the 6 Hours of Fuji.
