The third and final practice session concluded in Bahrain this morning. Toyota may have been fastest during both sessions yesterday, but Audi has regained the top stop.

The Toyota/Audi/Toyota/Audi order from the second free practice was reversed this morning, as Audi #2 of Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Loïc Duval set the fastest time. They were followed by the #8 Toyota in second and Audi #1 of Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Treluyer in third, ahead of the fourth placed #7 Toyota. Rebellion Racing placed fifth with their privateer Lola.

All four of the factory cars dropped below the one minute forty-four second lap time bracket, with the #2 Audi dropping into the forty-twos.

This third session concluded the free practice sessions in Bahrain and qualifying will be up next later today, scheduled to begin at 15:45 local time.
