First practice has just concluded here at Paul Ricard. Last time I checked, the temperature was 32.5 Celcius and it feels every degree. Practice was largely uneventful for the GT3 class aside from the odd spin. Patrick navigated the car to seventh fastest during the session and a mere 1.3 seconds off the fastest time. We'll keep you updated as the day goes on and bring you a more comprehensive post at the end of each day.
