GTE AM
More drama for the #62 Red River Sport Ferrari, which is trundling along with what appears to be a right-rear puncture.
GTE PRO
Martin pits the class-leading GTE Pro Aston, and it looks like AF Corse is also gearing up for a stop.
GTE AM
Adam pits the GTE Am-leading TF Sport Aston, which now has Charlie Eastwood aboard.
LMP2
A spin for James Allen in the #39 at the second chicane. A shame, after he drove such a stellar stint early on.
GTE PRO
Pier Guidi is in from the lead of Pro in the #51 Ferrari.
LMP1
Deletraz pits the #3 Rebellion and gets a new nose section.
GTE PRO
Daniel Serra has taken over the #51 Ferrari, and resumes 16s down on Martin's Aston.
LMP2
Albuquerque is soldiering on within 6s of the P2 lead despite a windscreen that is smeared with oil. And now he's in the lead, as van Uitert pits the leading #32.
LMP1
Nakajima is told to pit the leading #8 Toyota.
LMP1
New tyres for Nakajima, and he's on his way again.
LMP2
"Jesus Christ!" shouts Albuquerque when told of the 48 second gap to the sister United car. He's not so grumpy when informed that's how much he was ahead, not behind! He pits, to hand over to Hanson, and get that smeared windscreen cleaned.
GTE PRO
It's all fairly static in the GTE Pro battle right now. Serra not really making any ground on Martin, the gap between the pair is still 16s. A reminder that those two cars are the only cars on the lead lap in class.
GTE AM
Dalla Lana hands over the #98 Aston to Ross Gunn, who will be eager to gain some ground on the TF Sport car. Riccardo Pera also brings in the #77 Porsche, which briefly took second in class.
LMP2
After that round of pitstops, the battle for United supremacy is led by the #32 of van Uitert, 42s ahead of Hanson in the #22. Davidson is back in the #38 JOTA car in third.
LMP2
Da Costa confirms JOTA made an unscheduled pitstop, which is why the #38 has fallen over 90s behind the United cars.
LMP2
And now there's more P2 action, as Hanson is suddenly 10s ahead of van Uitert, who did a 4m26s lap. Most strange.
LMP1
A 3m21.382s is the quickest lap we've seen for a while, set by leader Nakajima in Toyota #8.
LMP1
The track is ramping up, Lopez bangs in 3m20.838s in response!
LMP2
Van Uitert is reeling in Hanson for the P2 lead. Gap is now under 5s.
LMP2
Hanson is informed of van Uitert's lap time, a 3m29.6s. "F***ing hell" he replies... Hanson is only just in the 3m31s.
GTE AM
The #75 Ferrari appears to be a bit on fire in the garage. There's a lot of shouting going on.
LMP2
Van Uitert is now under 2s behind Hanson in the P2 lead battle.
LMP2
Van Uitert pits. Hanson can breathe again. And the #32 is pushed into the garage!
GTE PRO
The #91 Porsche is in the garage with an electrical problem. That car was running fourth in class, albeit two laps down, and that place is now occupied by the previously-delayed #71 Ferrari.
LMP2
It's an oil leak on the #32. What a shame.
LMP2
This might explain why Albuquerque got a windscreen-full of oil on his previous stint when he was running right behind the sister #32 car...
GTE PRO
Martin pits the class-leading #97 Aston and hands over to Harry Tincknell.
GTE AM
Drama in GTE Am as the second-placed car in class, the #98 Aston, is in the garage...
LMP1
Leader Nakajima pits again and is soon on his merry way in Toyota #8.
LMP2
The #32 United car is now tumbling down the order. The #31 Panis Racing car is the next to benefit, but don't rule out the delayed G-Drive from grabbing a place on the podium.
LMP2
Second in P2, the #38 JOTA car is about a minute behind the leading #22 United machine.
LMP1
The second-placed #1 Rebellion has pitted, and Nato is now behind the wheel.
Driver Change
Time for the latest driver change of our own, as Charles and Jamie take a deserved rest. It is Josh and I to keep an eye on the action as the dawn breaks over Le Mans.
GTE PRO
An electrical issue is the reason why the Porsche #91 in GTE Pro is stuck in the garage. The car has fallen nine laps down on the class leaders but remains four laps ahead of the sister #92 car, which faced power steering woes earlier in the race.
LMP2
Another prognosis at dawn, this time in LMP2, as United Autosports confirms it was an oil leak that grounded LMP2 victory contender, the #32 car, to the garage.
GTE PRO
There's less than half a second separating the GTE Pro class leaders after over 16 hours, with the #51 AF Corse Ferrari just ahead of Tincknell in the #97 Aston. Lead change incoming...
GTE PRO
Tincknell uses his fresh tyre advantage (11 laps newer) to blitz past Serra in the #51 AF Corse at the first chicane on the Mulsanne Straight to move the #97 Aston into the GTE Pro lead.
Stopwatch
Fastest lap times in each class after 16 hours (and 25 minutes) of the race:

LMP1 - #1 Rebellion Racing 3m19.264s
LMP2 - #29 Racing Team Nederland 3m28.983s
GTE Pro - #97 Aston Martin 3m50.321s
GTE Am - #98 Aston Martin 3m52.449s
LMP1
Berthon has replaced Haas F1 reserve driver Deletraz in the third-place #3 Rebellion LMP1 entry. The car is a little slow away but resumes the race in the same position, well-clear of the #7 Toyota, for now...
