Kobayashi goes off the track, Alpine on your mind

At 17:34 p.m., while he was comfortably in the lead, Kamui Kobayashi shot straight behind the wheel of his Toyota GR010 Hybrid n°7 and ran aground in the gravel trap. Enough to push the race management to bring out the Full Course Yellow in order to allow the Japanese to get back on the track.

A boon for Alpine, who had already just carried out a good operation by stopping under the previous FCY, agitated to remove the debris left on the track by the Porsche 911 RSR n°91, victim of a puncture.

A little less than two hours from the goal, Matthieu Vaxiviere is in the lead with a lead of 21" over the No. 8 Toyota currently in the hands of Kazuki Nakajima, while Kamui Kobayashi is one turn away.

The No. 07 Oreca 22 of United Autosports (Albuquerque-Scherer-Hanson), the No. 911 Porsche 19 RSR-92 of Kévin Estre-Neel Jani and the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo No. 83 from Rovera-Nielsen-Perrodo are still leading the LM P2, GTE Pro and GTE Am respectively.
