There are only eight minutes left of the session at Le Mans. The two Toyotas still dominate the pack, whileAlpine is inserted in 4th position between the two Glickenhaus. In P2, JOTA is still ahead of Realteam Racing and United Autosports. Finally Weather Tech Racing is still the fastest team in GTE Pro, ahead of the #91 Porsche and the #52 Ferrari.

 We have just passed the hour mark of the race. The two Toyotas still dominate the ranking, while Nicolas Lapierre placed his Alpine in 3rd position but more than 2 seconds behind the leading car. 

The #52 Ferrari slowed down considerably on the track in the Mulsanne sector. A puncture is the cause. 

The #2 LM P24 of PR1 Motorsports Mathiasen is at a standstill. It looks like you've run out of gas. American driver Patrick Kelly is immobilized on the track.
