Indeed, the grip of the Circuit International du Mans had its ups and downs with the rainy spells that accompanied the Qualifying Heats from Thursday to Friday. As a result, the hierarchy changed in many categories. The selection will continue on Saturday morning during the Super Heats before the Finals on Saturday afternoon.
