The third and final practice session concluded in Bahrain this morning.
Toyota may have been fastest during both sessions yesterday, but Audi has regained
the top stop.
The Toyota/Audi/Toyota/Audi order from the second free practice was
reversed this morning, as Audi #2 of Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Loïc Duval
set the fastest time. They were followed by the #8 Toyota in second and Audi #1
of Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Treluyer in third, ahead of the
fourth placed #7 Toyota. Rebellion Racing placed fifth with their privateer
Lola.
All four of the factory cars dropped below the one minute forty-four second lap time bracket, with the #2 Audi dropping into the forty-twos.
This third session concluded the free practice sessions in Bahrain and qualifying will be up next later today, scheduled to begin at 15:45 local time.
