LMP1
The leading #8 Toyota pits for the 27th time in this race, just for a fuel stop, with Buemi staying at the wheel having only jumped in under an hour ago.
GTE PRO
Calado brings in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari and has a good chance of leapfrogging Lynn's #97 Aston for the GTE Pro lead. There was only a couple of seconds separating them before the latest pitstops.
LMP2
LMP2 leaders #22 United Autosports and #38 JOTA remain on pitstop sequence so the gap at the front between di Resta and Gonzalez remains static at a little over one minute at the front.
GTE PRO
There will be little chance of Calado overcutting Lynn, the #51 AF Corse Ferrari crew is changing the brake discs, handing the advantage back to the #97 Aston in GTE Pro.
LMP2
Can Jensen in the #26 G-Drive get his revenge? Having been frustrated by the #31 Panis Racing driven by Vaxiviere earlier, Canal is now at the controls and fending off pressure from the Danish driver.
GTE PRO
Calado has lost some 30 seconds with that pitstop drama but he does have fresh tyres on the #51 AF Corse Ferrari. The problem for Calado is that Lynn also has a fresh set of boots on the #97 Aston.
LMP2
Canal concedes third place for the time being by pitting in the #31 Panis Racing which releases Jensen from his rear wing.
Information
Six hours to go in the 2020 Le Mans 24 Hours. 75% of the way there.
Right on cue here’s the latest race highlights package to recap the last of the night racing: 
GTE PRO
Porsche update - the #91 and #92 cars are running in sixth and seventh in GTE Pro. There are only seven cars left running and the Porsche duo are lapping as the slowest drivers in the class. Not the best Le Mans debut for the new car...
GTE PRO
GTE Pro class leader Lynn in the #97 Aston is the only driver lapping in the 3m51s. Second-place Calado is the next-fastest, but down in the 3m53s. A gap of 33 seconds now separates them.
LMP1
Senna has reported "a small gap" in the bodywork of his #1 Rebellion having recently pitted. The Brazilian continues on track and it doesn't appear to have impacted his speed yet as he remains in second place with a one lap gap on the #3 Rebellion.
Information
The all-female crews are both running ninth place in class. The Richard Mille Racing #50 car - with Calderon currently at the wheel - runs ninth in LMP2 while Gostina has pitted and re-joined in ninth place in GTE Am in the #85 Iron Lynx Ferrari.
LMP1
The #1 Rebellion entry is wheeled back into the garage, that car was running second overall. The sister #3 Rebellion car is only one lap behind...
Yellow flag
GTE Am runner Schiavoni has spun the #60 Iron Lynx car, bringing out the yellow flag. There's also a puncture for the Laskaratos in the #17 Team Project 1 Porsche.
LMP1
The #1 Rebellion has a new nose, as the #3 Rebellion pits. The sister car is one lap behind the #1 car, which was running in second place behind the race leading #8 Toyota. Menezes has replaced Senna in the #1 car and rejoins the track.
Slow Zone
Yellow flags have become slow zones with marshals on track to recover the debris from Laskaratos' tyre blowout.
LMP2
The #35 Eurasia Motorsport goes off, not for the first time in this race, which briefly causes a yellow flag but Yamanaka gets going again without too much issue. He is currently down in P19 in class.
GTE PRO
We're back under green flag running, as Thiim has stepped into the #95 Aston, which runs third in GTE Pro behind the class leading #97 Aston and second-place #51 AF Corse Ferrari.
LMP1
The #1 Rebellion's lengthy stop has promoted the sister #3 car driven by Berthon up to second place with a 38-second advantage. The issue has also extended the #8 Toyota's lead to five laps at the front.
Slow Zone
Another spinner, this time the #34 Inter Europol Competition with Smiechowski getting stuck in the gravel on the approach to the Dunlop bridge.
Twitter
GTE PRO
Lynn pits the #97 Aston from the GTE Pro lead as Molina takes over the fourth-placed #71 AF Corse Ferrari from Rigon. Calado now leads in the #51 AF Corse, but will be stopping soon.
GTE AM
The GTE Am leader is also in the pits. Yoluc ends a near two-hour stint in the #90 TF Sport entry and hands over to four-time British GT champion Adam. Perredo has taken the reigns of the second-place #83 AF Corse Ferrari entry from Collard.
Slow Zone
Chen is the cause of the latest slow zone. He's beached the #72 HubAuto Racing entry in the gravel just after the Dunlop bridge.
LMP2
Gonzalez, who had been chipping away at the deficit for #38 JOTA chasing Di Resta in the lead #22 United Autosports, pits on schedule to drop back once again. That battle looks set to go all the way to the finish.
GTE PRO
Calado pits the #51 Ferrari from the GTE Pro lead and hands the car to Pier Guidi, who gets a fresh set of tyres. The pitstop puts Lynn in the #97 Aston back into the lead of the class.
GTE AM
Chen has restarted the #72 HubAuto entry and is making his way back to the pits. The slow zone is withdrawn and the race is back to green flag running with just over five hours of the race remaining.
Twitter
LMP1
The #3 Rebellion pits from second place which hands that position over to the sister #1 Rebellion. Berthon hands over driver duties to Dumas as the race ticks down to just under five hours to go.
GTE PRO
The gap between the GTE Pro leaders has swelled to over a minute. Lynn leads and is on course for his first Le Mans class victory. It would mark his team-mate Tincknell's first class victory at Le Mans since the British ace took LMP2 honours for JOTA in 2014.
LMP1
The #1 Rebellion pits a lap later to return second place to the #3 sister car. Meanwhile the leading #8 Toyota is also in the pits as Buemi completes his latest stint and hands over to Hartley.
Twitter
GTE PRO
Lynn - in the GTE Pro leading #97 Aston entry - sits in 21st overall. Last year's class winners, who are currently running second in class, finished the 2019 race in 20th position overall.
LMP2
Paul di Resta is putting together a solid stint for the LMP2 leader #22 United Autosports. His advantage over Gonzalez in the #38 JOTA is well over 90 seconds now.
Driver Change
Di Resta duly completes his stint pushing to the very end as he pits the #22 United Autosports and hands over to Albuquerque.
GTE PRO
A reminder that the last time Aston Martin Racing was triumphant at Le Mans in GTE Pro was in 2017 with Adam, Serra and Turner at the wheel. Adam is currently leading the GTE Am class in a privately run Aston, Serra is now with Ferrari and providing the main challenge to the class-leading Aston in GTE Pro, while Turner is supporting from the sidelines.
LMP2
The #26 G-Drive driven by Vergne also pits, just for fuel though, as he resumes the fight for the final class podium place against the #31 Panis Racing now being driven by Jamin.
GTE AM
The #77 Dempsey Proton Porsche pits with Pera replacing team boss Ried. That car is right in amongst a close battle for second place, with Perrodo currently occupying P2 in GTE Am for the #83 AF Corse Ferrari.
