The #6 Porsche will line up on pole position after Kevin Estre topped Thursday's Hyperpole session, with the #3 Cadillac that was qualified by Sebastien Bourdais completing the front row.
Alex Lynn had actually set a quicker time than Bourdais in the 30-minute pole shootout, but the #2 Caddy has a five-place grid penalty carried forward from the Spa round of WEC, where team-mate Earl Bamber was adjudged to have caused a major shunt with a BMW GT3 car at the Kemmel Straight.
