H+3: Toyota remains threatened by Porsche

La Toyota n°8 d’Anthony Davidson est en tête à la mi-course des 6 Heures de Silverstone (Grande-Bretagne). Si le pilote local dispose d’une avance d’une demi-minute sur la première Porsche, la n°2 emmenée par Earl Bamber, elle compte un arrêt de moins que la première 919 Hybrid qui reste dans la course après avoir notamment profité d’une faible averse qui aurait dû avantager les TS050 Hybrid.

The second Porsche driven by André Lotterer completes the provisional podium ahead of the No. 7 Toyota of Kamui Kobayashi who lost ground with lagging performances and an exit from the track by the Japanese.

Alpine dominated

THEAlpine #36 remains well placed at the head of LMP2 with Gustavo Menezes at the wheel. Thomas Laurent is the closest, one minute behind the No. 38 of Jackie Chan DC Racing, which has an additional stop. Mathieu Vaxivière completes the top three in the category in the No. 28 of TDS Racing.

In GTE pro, the Ferrari No. 51 of James Calado is fighting among the Ford GTs, with the No. 66 of Billy Johnson now occupying the lead in the category. The Porsche 911 RSRs are moving beyond the top five. Aston Martin still dominates the GTE Am debates with the #98 of Paul Dalla-Lana.
