Pénteken az első két szabadedzést rendezték meg, amelyet egyaránt esőtől áztatott pályán teljesített a mezőny. A leggyorsabbnak mindkét etapban az egyaránt az F1-et is megjárt Anthony Davidson és Sebastien Buemi bizonyult a Toyota LMP1-es versenygépével, míg a 2. helyen mindkétszer az Alexander Wurz, Stephane Sarrazin, Kazuki Nakajima trió zárt mögöttük, szintén Toyotával.
A nap végi 3. helyre a Lucas Di Grassi, Loic Duval, Tom Kristensen audis trió ért fel, míg a Red Bull korábbi F1-es ásza, Mark Webber – Timo Bernhard és Brendon Hartley csapattársaként – legjobb porschésként az 5. helyen vonult pihenőre. A korábbi négyszeres F1-es világbajnok Alain Prost fia, Nicolas is ott van a mezőnyben, ő az ex-F1-es Nick Heidfelddel és Mattias Bechével alkot egy egységet, és a mai napon a 7. helyre hozták be Toyotájukat.
Folytatás szombaton a harmadik szabadedzéssel és az időmérővel, majd vasárnap a 6 órás futammal.
