The 17th hour of racing at Le Mans was eventful due to several accidents mostly involving LMP2s. Nelson Panciatici hit the wall at the first Mulsanne chicane after apparently encountering a mechanical problem on theAlpine n°35 which occupied fourth position in the category. Pierre Thiriet then made a mistake by missing his turn at Mulsanne while the No. 46 Oreca was in second position behind the No. 460 A36.
L’entrée de la voiture de sécurité a poussé Toyota à faire passer les deux TS050 Hybrid par les stands, laissant ainsi les commandes de la course à la Porsche n°2 de Neel Jani qui dispose désormais d’une minute d’avance sur les LMP1 japonaises.
The GTE Pro also suffered. Tommy Milner was the victim of an impressive off-track event at the wheel of the No. 64 Corvette at the entrance to the Dunlop Chicane/ The No. 62 Ferrari of Risi Competizione nevertheless retains the lead in the category against Sébastien's Ford Gts. Bourdais and Richard Westbrook who are ahead of the #95 Vantage of Nicki Thiim.
No change, however, for GTE Am which remains dominated by the No. 62 Ferrari of the Team Corsa driven by Jeffrey Segal.
The CLM01/P1 by Kolles Racing has joined the list of abandonments following the start of a fire.
