In fourth position, the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP n°1 of Marc Gené still hopes for the podium. Sixth, the 908 Oreca of Nicolas lapierre has 1?20?? behind its predecessor, the No. 15 Audi R7 TDI from Dindo Capello.

It is not clear what could prevent the Honda from moving forward. The HPD ARX-01c occupy the first two places in the category. And behind, everyone is far away. If there are no reliability issues, then no one will see them again. Mathieu Lahaye, in the No. 35 Pescarolo-Judd, holds on to his third place.

The elimination race helped the Saleen S7R take control of the class in the middle of the night. The No. 60 Matech Competition Ford GT died after 13 hours of racing due to engine failure. As a result, the Saleen S7R is in the lead and can win, even if a return of the Corvette C6R from Luc Alphand Aventures cannot be ruled out.

C?est la catégorie la plus indécise traditionnellement. Pas tellement ce week-end, car Corvette a réussi à placer ses deux C6 ZR1 aux deux premières places. Si elles ne connaissent par de problèmes de fiabilité dans les dernières heures, elles pourraient faire le doublé. Derrière les deux Corvette, les Porsche 997 des teams Felbermayr Proton et d?IMSA Performance can continue to hope to return to the forefront.
