GTE PRO
Pier Guidi is catching up Lynn in the fight for the lead in GTE Pro, just two seconds now splitting the duo.
LMP1
Nakajima rejoins in the leading Toyota.
GTE PRO
Sounds like it's race over for WeatherTech Racing. "Too much damage", says Vilander after the collision with the #29 Team Nederland Oreca.
GTE AM
This could be a decisive stint in the fight for GTE Am honours, as Adam is now 53s clear of Dalla Lana.
Yellow flag
Charlie Hollings has lost the #62 Red River Sport Ferrari at the first chicane. Could be on for a slow zone...
Slow Zone
And there we are, slow zone confirmed. Meanwhile, Lynn has bought himself a little more breathing space in the GTE Pro fight, he's 3.7s ahead of Pier Guidi now.
GTE PRO
Just as we write that, Lynn brings in the #97 and hands over to his full-time WEC teammate Maxime Martin. We'll see if Pier Guidi can hang on to the lead when he stops next.
Information
10 hours left of the 88th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours. Here's the state of play:

- #8 Toyota leads by a lap from #1 Rebellion after turbo problem for #7 Toyota
- #32 United Autosports Oreca leads the sister #22 machine in LMP2, with the #38 JOTA car still well within range of the lead pair
- #51 Ferrari and #97 Aston Martin locked in battle for GTE Pro lead
- #90 TF Sport Aston looking increasingly secure at head of GTE Am order
LMP1
Norman Nato has taken over at the wheel of the #1 Rebellion from Menezes.
GTE AM
Jonny Adam's pitted the GTE Am-leading Aston, so Dalla Lana is back out in front.
LMP2
Both United cars pit together again from their 1-2.
LMP2
And now the third-placed #38 JOTA car pits too.
LMP2
"So far, so good," says United team boss Richard Dean. He confirms they changed the tail section on #32 car earlier, as photographic evidence suggested there was an issue that was only likely to get worse.
GTE AM
The #62 Red River Sport Ferrari, which was in the wars a while ago, is safely back in the garage. Looks like they are trying to replace the left-hand-side door...
LMP1
Deletraz pits in the third placed #3 Rebellion, and rejoins.
LMP2
Brundle is now 23s clear of the sister United Autosports car of Albuquerque, the biggest gap between those cars for quite some time.
GTE AM
Drive-through penalty for the HubAuto Corsa Ferrari - Marcos Gomes at the wheel currently - for speeding in a slow zone. Naughty boy.
GTE PRO
In GTE Pro, Ferrari man Pier Guidi now has 10s in hand over the #97 Aston Martin of... er, Martin.
GTE AM
And in GTE Am, Jonny Adam has almost caught Paul Dalla Lana, despite having made one more stop, so the #90 TF Sport car should be back at the head of the order soon.
GTE AM
The #62 Ferrari is back out, fresh with a shiny new left-hand side door. Remember that the number lighting panels have to be functional at all times, which is almost certainly the reason that door replacement was deemed necessary.
GTE AM
Meanwhile, Adam passes Dalla Lana on the run to Indianapolis to retake the lead in GTE Am - he's effectively a pitstop ahead.
GTE AM
Now Dalla Lana comes in from second. The third-placed car, the #77 Dempsey-Proton Porsche, is a lap down on the two leaders.
LMP2
With nine and a half hours to go, the closest battle on track is between the #42 Cool Racing and #27 DragonSpeed, and Hanley forces Borga into a mistake at Arnage and grabs seventh.
GTE PRO
Martin has halved the gap to Pier Guidi as the Aston v Ferrari battle continues to rage. The #51 car has five seconds in hand now.
GTE PRO
A great lap from Martin, and the GTE Pro lead is down to under two seconds!
LMP1
Nakajima dips into the 3m21s bracket – only just, but it counts.
GTE PRO
Martin is all over Pier Guidi for the GT lead.
GTE PRO
And Martin is ahead, passing Pier Guidi out of sight of the cameras which appeared to get confused about which cars they should be following.
LMP1
Nakajima has pitted the leading Toyota and rejoins.
LMP2
The much-delayed #26 G-Drive entry has caught the #31 Panis Racing entry for fourth place. Well, it had but then dived into the pits.
LMP2
Vergne hands #26 off to Rusinov, who was behind the wheel when it encountered those pesky electrical gremlins earlier in the night.
LMP1
Nato pits the #1 Rebellion. After a stuttering getaway, he gets away.
LMP1
Lopez pits the much-delayed #7 Toyota, and is swiftly on his way again.
GTE AM
Jonny Adam is almost two minutes clear of Paul Dalla Lana in the GTE Am lead battle now, if you can still call it a battle. Superb effort from the Scotsman.
LMP2
The United duo pit together, and the #22 rockets out of the pits ahead of the #32 to take the class lead.
LMP1
The #8 Toyota, by our estimations, is about 13s away from going up a second lap. The #3 Rebellion, which is three laps down, pits from third.
LMP2
Albuquerque didn't stay in the lead for long, as Job van Uitert repassed him to reclaim the P2 lead. Now Albuquerque is complaining of his windscreen being coated in oil!
LMP2
Shout out for the all-female-crewed Richard Mille Racing Oreca, which is running a steady 10th in class, now with Sophia Floersch at the wheel. The German, best known for her F3 exploits, only made her LMP2 debut in the previous ELMS race at Paul Ricard.
LMP1
Deletraz pits the third-placed Rebellion and rejoins.
