24 Hours of Le Mans – H+4: the #92 Porsche takes off

The safety car entered the track for the first time approaching the fourth hour of the race following a puncture on the No. 07 Jackie Chan DC Racing Oreca 38 in which Gabriel Aubry was racing.

Alors que la LM P2 a été emmenée au garage, les Toyota ont effectué leur sixième passage par les stands. José Maria Lopez a repris les commandes de la course sur la Toyota n°7 après un bref passage de relais avec Fernando Alonso which now follows by a few seconds on the TS050 Hybrid n°8.

The No. 1 SMP Racing BR17, now entrusted to Egor Orudzhev, completes the provisional top three, but the first Non-Hybrid LM P1 has one stop less than the Rebellions following the Italian prototype.

G-Drive Racing dominates the LM P2 with André Pizzitola at the wheel of the No. 07 Oreca 26 which has almost three minutes ahead of theAlpine from André negrao. Julien Canal resisted well by retaining third place at the wheel of the Panis Barthez Competition Ligier JS P217.

The #32 United Autosports Ligier fell in the standings after stopping in the pits, likely the victim of a mechanical problem.

La voiture de sécurité a bouleversé le classement du GTE Pro, piégeant notamment la Porsche n°91 désormais emmenée par Richard Lietz et la Ford GT n°68 de Joey Hand qui se battait pour la tête de la catégorie après un excellent relais de Sébastien Bourdais.

It is now the #911 92 RSR of Kévin Estre which leads the GTE Pro with a minute ahead of the #8 BMW M81 GTE of Nick Catsburg and the #69 Ford GT of Scott Dixon. THE Aston Martin Vantage, however, remains at the back of the pack.

Matt Campbell leads GTE Am in the No. 77 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche.
