Peugeot tog første stik i Petit Le Mans, da Anthony Davidson satte Peugeot 908 #7 på pole position.
Det var igen en tæt affære, da briten blot var 1/10 sekund foran Audi #1 med Timo Bernhard som hurtigste mand, mens Stephane Sarrazin var treer i Peugeot #8. Tom Kristensens Audi starter som firer.
I den ultratætte GT-klasse var Gimmi Bruni hurtigst i AF Corse Ferrari foran de to BMW M3 GT. Jan Magnussen kvalificerede Corvette #4 og satte den på ottendepladsen i GT-klassen.
Begge Lotus Evora fra Lotus Jetalliance-teamet kom på banen, og her satte Johnny Mowlem og Martin Rich henholdsvis #65 og #64 på en 17. og en 18. plads i klassen.
