Paul Ricard testing postponed by rain and fog

All running at Circuit Paul Ricard was postponed on Thursday morning because of heavy rain and standing water around the circuit. The first Open testing session, initially rescheduled for midday local time, was later cancelled as rain and developing fog continued. By 12:30 the rain had eased, but the fog remained.

The entry list has seen several changes in recent days. The #11 Proton Oreca is now confirmed with ELMS regular Georgos Kolovos, alongside 2026 Alpine pair Victor Martins and Charles Milesi.

The sister #99 car lists Christina Ried as the Bronze driver, with Jonas Ried and Harry King.
