Kamui Kobayashi continues to lead the Le Mans 24 Hours in the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, ahead of teammate Brendon Hartley, who took over from Sébastien Buemi in the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid just under an hour ago.
The #36 Alpine A480, with Andre Negrão at the wheel, sits third, a minute and 44 seconds back.
The hour was dominated by a long safety car period to recover the #98 Aston Martin Vantage of Marco Gomes, who crashed heavily at Indianapolis. This required the tyre barrier to be reseated, although no barrier repairs were required.
In LMP2, the #28 JOTA ORECA 07-Gibson of Tom Blomqvist leads, with #23 United Autosports ORECA 07-Gibson’s Wayne Boyd in second, 7 seconds back. #65 Panis Racing ORECA 07-Gibson sits third, with James Allen at the wheel, a further 2 seconds off Boyd.
It’s still a Ferrari 1-2 in GTE-Pro, with Alessandro Pier Guidi in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo leading Daniel Serra in the sister #52 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo, but the latter is due an imminent pitstop. Third in class is the #63 Corvette C8.R of Jordan Taylor.
Another Ferrari leads in GTE-Am, with François Perrodo in the #83 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo in front of #33 TF Sport Aston Martin Vantage AMR’s Ben Keating in second. Finally, in third is #57 Scott Andrews in the Kessel Racing Ferrari 488 GTE Evo.
