Fastest race lap by the #50 3:28.597. Its lead over the #8 has now grown again as Buemi asking engineers for advice on a problem he is having but not sure what it is. Potential issue?
Corvette #33 has clawed its way back to 2nd in LM GTE AM. Passed the Iron Dames Porsche which is now 3rd.
We have a full course yellow for reason unknown at this stage.. Pit lane closed for an FCY. Limit / allowance is a 5 second splash of fuel if you are running out.. 5 seconds fuel is minimal, but if you are running under FCY you are not using much
I think the FCY is for general debris clearance, gravel everywhere.

Ferrari seem to hve Toyota covered up front.... the gap #51 > #8 is now just on a minute and has steadily grown. 6 hours to go just under so still plenty of time for Ferrari to shoot themselves in the foot, but surprisingly there has been no sounds of gunshots or bleeding feet in the Ferrari garage. Yet.
Just looked at the poll and no one picked the #51, just one vote for the #50.
We might at this rate see the first Ferrari Le Mans win since 1965.

The Hertz JOTA has been in the wars again and making its way back to the pits sans front bodywork. From the actions in pitlane it seems no damage other than bodywork and that is being replaced .
Replays just showed the car had a lose and nosed into the barriers head on into the crash structure so the suspension was untouched. It damaged the barriers though and that is under repir with a local yellow / slow zone atm.

I spoke too soon.... I wandered off to make a snack for a few minutes, returned to see the #51 pitted for routine service and then wouldnt restart. They got it going again bt lost a minute in the provess so now the Toyota has taken the lead again. Only a small gap but the Toyota leads.
Also the #51 has some sort of radio issue . It seems to only work one way.

Traffic closed the gssp again but the Ferrari having lost the gap managed the traffic and particularly the Glick better than the Toyota. In fact the Toyota is struggling to pass the Glick. The gap from 51 > 8 is now 5 seconds quite quickly.
Yoyota have got a battle on their hands none of us really picked they would have.

The NASCAR Camaro just lost a few minutes in the pits.... not a specific problem that caused the delay but a planned brake change. Surprised a brake change took so long. In V8SC they change Discs and complete brke set up routinely in a couple of minutes at enduro events like Bathurst..
