The race calmed down a little at Le Mans. After the twists and turns of the morning avec les problèmes sur la Porsche n°92 puis sur la Toyota n°7, il n’y a pas eu de gros événements lors de cette 17e heure de course.

In Hypercar, the No. 8 Toyota is well in the lead with a lap ahead of the No. 7. The Glickenhaus n°709 continues to run its isolated race in 3rd position, 4 laps behind the leader. Alpine is still stuck in 17th position overall, 12 laps behind #8.

In LM P2, status quo in the lead: the #38 Jota does not relinquish control of the race with a lap lead over the #9 Prema. The Richard Mille Racing is 9th in the category.

In GTE-Pro, Corvette regained the lead of the race with more than 3 minutes ahead of the Ferrari No. 51. The Italian car had returned to its pits to change the brakes. After several minutes of repairs, the #92 Porsche set off again, but several laps behind. 

Finally, in GTE-Am, TF Sport n°33 is in control. Only major accident: Brendan Iribe's crash before the Daytona chicane, in the Mulsannes.
