24h Le Mans
Night has fully fallen on the competitors at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For now, fatigue has yet to come into play as the classifications have remained essentially the same.
Up to this point in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Toyota has had no surprises. The Japanese marque's two hybrid prototypes continue to carve out a comfortable lead on the Rebellions, the first of which trails the lead Toyota by four laps. The stop-and-go imposed on the #8 TS050 Hybrid for excessive speed in pit lane had no impact on the order in LMP1.
Status quo as well in LMP2 with G-Drive Racing's #26 ORECA 07 still firmly in the lead followed by an armada of French teams.
In LMGTE Pro, the battle is on for second position. The #81 BMW M8 driven by Philipp Eng posed a momentary threat to the #91 Porsche of Frédéric Makowiecki before suddenly falling back. Clearly the victim of a mechanical problem, the BMW M8 was pushed into its garage by mechanics, later returning to the track in 12th position. Chip Ganassi Team USA's #68 Ford GT took advantage of the situation to slip into third place.
The order has changed in LMGTE Am thanks to Julien Andlauer (Dempsey-Proton Racing) overtaking Cooper MacNeil (JMW Motorsport) to reclaim first position for the #77 Porsche 911 RSR at the expense of the #84 Ferrari 488 GTE.
