Jonny PalmerHOST
So it's an ideal time to give you now the full grid here on RS1.
Jonny PalmerHOST
The 2026 edition of the Six Hours of Fuji will see an all-Alpine front row with the number 36 of Jules Gounon in his A424 alongside the number 35 car of Ferdinand Habsburg.
Jonny PalmerHOST
So 36 versus 35 and then in behind...
Jonny PalmerHOST
Not quite a home race, but it's as close as they'll get in this season for Genesis Magma Racing with the GMR 001, driven by Danny Yunkadere for the opening stint, a time of 1.29.4.
Jonny PalmerHOST
I can't quite tell whether that's the 35 or the 36.
Jonny PalmerHOST
I would imagine it's the pole sitting car.
Jonny PalmerHOST
of Jules Gounon and both Alpine's have stayed ahead of Dani Junkerdea who was desperate to break as late as he could into Daiichi or first corner to fend off the Aston Martins which he has done it's Aston running fourth and fifth but we already have a collision between Salih Jolic in the 34 car there's a Lexus involved as well either the 78 or the 87 and those cars are going to rejoin, but they connected at the first corner.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Cadillac jumping ahead of one of the Genesis, so that is the second of the Genesis in the order.
Jonny PalmerHOST
And they got within a car length of one another in the braking area.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Jules Gounon still leads by 3.7 seconds in this, the sixth round of the season of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Jonny PalmerHOST
We're live from the Ford Racing Global Broadcast Center to bring you every single second of this.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Oh, now there is a drama for one of the Ferraris, which seems to be without power.
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Are you OK? It feels OK.

I got hit by the Aston that was coming out of the pit lane.
Jonny PalmerHOST
hit by the Aston coming out of the pits and that car I'm guessing was struggling to stop on its cold tyres no tyre warmers remember so Brendan Hartley turns in at the usual point and then the Aston Martin made contact it's going to be a virtual safety car which means that after that it will be a safety car so everyone's going to get the opportunity now to top up with fuel Jules Gounon's desperate for fuel anyway So the virtual safety car is deployed as soon as it is announced.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Everybody's down to 60, so 80 kilometers per hour, rather.
Jonny PalmerHOST
It does.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Jules Gounon, who is rejoining now, but I don't know whether that order is quite accurate yet.
Jonny PalmerHOST
So has Gounon slotted in behind Gamble, or is Gamble still gonna have a face full of that Alpine A424? Ferdinand Hapsburg continues to lead the race.
Jonny PalmerHOST
No, Gamble's ahead now of Gounon by 2.7 seconds.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Watch the white line.
Jonny PalmerHOST
So the debrief at AF Corse is now ongoing, 'cause that's not gonna be sorted in a hurry.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Victor Martins meanwhile is out of car 36, and he's handed over to Jules Gounon, so he's having a chat in the garage.
Bruce JouannyCORRESPONDENT
Well, we're down in the Alpine Endurance team with Victor Martins, driver of the 36 car.
Jonny PalmerHOST
And as I said, both of the Alpine lineups are down to two driver lineups.
Jonny PalmerHOST
So Millaisy is joined by Ferdi Hapsburg, Jules Gounon and Victor Martins.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Martins has particularly impressed during qualifying duty over the last few races.
Jonny PalmerHOST
I wasn't surprised that he was retained.
53 MINS LATER
Jonny PalmerHOST
All the hypercars that remain out in the session.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Seeing the chequered flags.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Jules Gounon stays fastest by 65,000th of a second over Harry Tinknell's 007 Aston Martin.
Jonny PalmerHOST
Now that's interesting.
