Toyota # 7 can adjust again

The traces of the race …

… are already visible in many cars, as this short video proves. And there is still more than nine hours on the checkered flag. The Ford Ganbadi # 66 (Mücke / Pla / Johnson) is currently in P9 in the GTE-Pro. In front of the Porsche Body Ferrari n ° 51 (Guidi / Calado / Serra) in front of the Porsche n ° 91 (Lietz / Bruni / Makowiecki) and Corvette n ° 63 (Magnussen / Garcia / Rockenfeller).

Pace

Laurent can follow the chronos of the two Toyota in the rebellion n ° 3. Fort! That does not bring him much because he is three laps behind the top. Nevertheless, you are currently at least clearly en route to third place.

change

Not in the car but on the ticker, Ruben Zimmermann now takes over as announced again. In fact, the top photo is the same as ten hours ago when I was past the ticker for the last time: # 7 is just under a minute ahead of # 8. Behind, however, has moved a lot. What is also the same: the GTE-Pro remains the most competitive clbad here.

The ARC of Bratislava gave up

No happy ending in the dramatic story of the ARC-Bratislava-Ligier # 49 (Konopka / Enqvist / Tereschenko): the vehicle is now reported as a failure. Too bad for the troupe who participated for the first time at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Now he also receives the last Aston

It's bitter: Aston Martin # 90 from TF-Sport (Yoluc / Hankey / Eastwood) is alongside Euan Hankey driving the wheel dug into the gravel at Mulsanne. The car was in second place in the GTE Am, making it the last Aston Martin, which was still in a promising position. JMW Ferrari # 84 (Segal / Baptista / Lu) is in second place behind Keating-Ford No. 85 (Keating / Bleekemolen / Fraga), the third is now Project-1-Porsche # 56 (Bergmeister / Lindsey / Perfetti), who is heading for the title.

Meanwhile at G-Drive Racing

So, we do not know what it is. But it's cold, less than 15 degrees Celsius.

Fatigue takes its toll

Critically

At the recent Fernando Alonso stop, the mechanics looked closely at the subfloor to see if the damage was suspected. At No. 7, there was a new front-end. Kobayashi's lead increased to 1:07 minutes!

Ferrari No. 71 on the outside

The AF Corse Ferrari # 71 (Rigon / Bird / Molina) is now clbadified as a failure. Reason for failure: engine damage.

# 92 on the way again

But it took 21 to recover the 911 RSR. Of course, the race is lost. It's only a matter of driving through. Nevertheless, the performance of the mechanics allowed to exchange so quickly the hot exhaust system. Since all the rear part had to be disbadembled and rebadembled.

Alonso falls back – damaged basement?

Fernando Alonso is 17 seconds behind. The change of body parts does not seem to have made the vehicle faster. Alonso suspects the radio that the basement may have been damaged. That's what happened to Toyota during the 2017 WEC race at the Nürburgring.

ByKolles stands

He spent 13 hours, now at ByKolles-Enso # 4 (Dillmann / Webb / Ruberti) with Tom Dillmann driving. This is only the second race with Gibson engine. Since we only wanted to come to the stands, the suspicion that the most commonplace of reasons could have hit: Spritmangel. But we can not say as much.

Drama for the # 92!

The No. 92 Porsche (Christensen / Estre / Vanthoor), which was in the lead, is pushed into the garage! It must be exchanged probably. Now AF Corse has the victory on the foot! 1 minute 20 ahead of Alessandro Pier Guidi for the moment.

Front and back are exchanged!

Fernando Alonso receives a new half-car at his first stop. It is traded not only in the back but also in the front. All in the Nachtankzeit. No loss of time, but from now on no excuse.

Alonso needs a new tail

Until now, Fernando Alonso has not approached Kamui Kobayashi. At Toyota, a new rear end is in preparation for the No. 8, which should be at the next pit stop. There is probably a slight damage now. The backlog is currently running around the 12-second mark.

Unscheduled stop at # 92

The GTE professional fight was torn. This time, not by a safety car, but by a Porsche No. 92 (Christensen / Estre / Vanthoor). As a result, the lead will now change between the Porsche and AF Corse Ferrari # 51 (Pier Guidi / Calado / Serra), depending on the pit stop.
