The best photos from the 2016 Le Mans Test, where Audi set the headline time ahead of the twice-round-the-clock classic on June 18-19. Lucas Di Grassi claimed the bragging rights, as the #8 R18 he shares with Oliver Jarvis and Loïc Duval beat the reigning champions in the Porsche #1 of Timo Bernhard, Mark Webber and Brendon Hartley by 0.8s.
