It was a dominant performance from the French team which has taken big steps forward since it made its international race debut at this 5.793km circuit last year.
For a long time, the two Courage ORECA Judds headed the time sheets with Olivier Panis and Soheil Ayari before they were split by the Creation AIM of Jamie Campbell-Walter.
The British driver was on another flying lap when he went crashed heavily at the second chicane, putting to an end his hopes of challenging his petrol competitors.
It wasn't until late in the session that the Peugeot 908 Hdi FAPs went out on track, after Capello set provisional fastest time in his Audi R10 TDI.
He was followed by Mike Rockenfeller before the Peugeots pitted for new tyres and exited the pits together, running in close formation, Minassian leading Lamy. It was the Frenchman who set the better time.
Jos Verstappen continued the form he showed at Barcelona when he set the "LM" P2 class pole at Monza in his van Merksteijn Porsche. Verstappen set a best time of 1m36.842s, more than a secnd faster than Jan Lammers in the Horag Racing Porsche.
Ferrari returned to the top of the time sheets with Rob Bell setting the "LM" GT2 pole position time in the Ferrari 430 GT.
