Alla fine dell'ultimo turno di qualifiche, Stéphane Sarrazin ha agguantato per la terza volta di fila la pole position al volante della Peugeot 908 Hdi-FAP della squadra Peugeot Total. L'equipaggio dell'auto numero 8, Sarrazin, Montagny e Bourdais, non hanno nascosto la loro intenzione di riuscire dove non erano riusciti nei due anni passati, ossia di vincere la gloriosa corsa. Dietro la squadra francese si è piazzata l'Audi numero 1, quella di Kristensen, Capello e McNish. Buona prova per la Pescarolo motorizzata Peugeot che si è piazzata al quarto posto, dietro l'altra Peugeot della squadra Peugeot Sport Total.L'ordine di partenza:
