LMP1 provisional classification
1. Buemi/Alonso/Nakajima (Toyota)
2. Kobayashi/Conway/Lopez (Toyota) +19.264s
3. Beche/Laurent/Menezes (Rebellion) +4 laps
4. Jani/Lotterer (Rebellion) +5 laps

That late issue with rear bodywork cost Jani and Lotterer a late podium, it turns out.
Feeling brave, Jorg?
Heading into Abbey on lap one, the #51 Ferrari was running last in GTE Pro. Alessandro Pier Guidi is now 5 minutes away from victory. Who says WEC is predictable?
The #37 has a little over seven minutes to find a way past the #38. What can Jaafar muster?
Replays show Tincknell went wide at Stowe due to Christensen having a lairy oversteer moment, which nudged the Ford wide. Then he clobbered him again entering Club and send him wide there too.
Tincknell takes third place in all of that.
That might cost him a podium to the sister #3 Rebellion, which currently has Gustavo Menezes at the wheel.
Jaafar loses momentum so Tung gets a small breather, the gap opening back up to 1.3s.
Pedro Lamy has fallen away from second placed Jonny Adam,
Only 23 minutes separate Buemi, Alonso and Nakajima from a third straight WEC win.
Let the battle commence!
That would mean Buemi, Fernando Alonso and Kazuki Nakajima would retain a 100% win rate this season.
Anthony Davidson has just earned the #31 a penalty for breaking full course yellow procedure. Oh dear.
