Hour 19: Porsche hit the 300 lap mark

Although the weather forecast calls for rain, the circuit is still dry for the moment, but the leading car in the LM P2 cars was stopped in the Arnage run-off. Richard Bradley rejoined and didn't stop to check the Oreca 05, this is why he kept the lead even though he lost several minutes.

The KCMG Oreca's lead shrank to 30 seconds, but it is still ahead of No. 26 OAK Racing Ligier and last year's winner No. 38 Jota Sport Gibson. Meanwhile the No.42 Strakka Racing Dome was slow in the Dunlop curve and stopped at Tertre rouge even if Nick Leventis is trying to make it to the pits.

No change among the overall leaders with No. 19 (Nick Tandy) and No.17 (Timo Bernhard) Porsches still ahead of the No. 9 Audi driven by René Rast.

Both leading cars in the LM GTE Pro class are still very, very close. The No. 64 Corvette and the No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari pitted in the same lap. The American car was the first to be back on track after a rough fight, but no penalty was given to any of the car. The No. 91 Porsche follows in third.

No. 98 Aston Martin and No. 72 Ferrari top the time sheets in the LM GTE Am, but as of now, Grey's Anatomy's ex-Dr Shepherd is not third anymore, because his teammate Marco Seefried, in the No. 77 Porsche was passed by No. 62 Ferrari although he tried to resist.
