LMP1
The #7 Toyota comes in for a stop, although Lopez gets too deep into one of the entry chicanes. Regardless, he comes out still ahead of the #3 Rebellion.
Pit stop
Thiim has jumped aboard the #95 Aston for the final hour, still in a lonely third in GTE Pro. Meanwhile, Campbell and Nielsen have also taken the opportunity to pit from third and fourth in GTE Am.
GTE AM
Legeret drags the #99 Porsche back to the pits as the track crew get to work fixing the mess he's made of the Tetre Rouge tyre barrier.
GTE AM
Now in comes Cairoli from second in the Am class. The #56 Project 1 machine gets another windscreen tear-off and is sent on its way with fuel to the finish.

LMP2
Vergne's crawling to the pits, having had a suspension failure on board that #26 G-Drive car in the Indianapolis corner. With the slow zone, it'll take the sting out of it, but that could lift the #31 Panis machine up to third in class.
GTE PRO
Final pitstop in progress for the GTE Pro class-leading Aston Martin. No fuss in the AMR pit as he's sent on his way again.
Safety car
That's Allen in the wall! The Graff car is in pieces there in the Porsche curves, possibly adding a wheel to that tyre barrier. Safety car.
Well, there's a late twist. This could have major repercussions for several of the classes.
The pit entry is now closed.
GTE PRO
The GTE Pro Ferrari has been going three laps further than the Aston on each stint, so isn't due a stop for a little while yet. Will it be able to stretch the fuel even further still under the safety car?
LMP2
This is possibly going to bring Davidson right onto the back of Hanson, so the #22 United Autosports' considerable lead over the #38 Jota will be eliminated.
GTE AM
The safety car came at a good time for GTE Am leader TF Sport, which has been separated from the three cars behind it on the lead lap that had been steadily catching up. Cairoli, Campbell and Nielsen will be right together when this restarts in the battle for the final podium placings.
LMP2
And there's the #27 Dragonspeed, Hedman pulling to the side of the road to try and get the car sorted. 30 minutes remain and it's become rather attritional.
After ruminating on what the safety car might mean for the #51 Ferrari running second in GTE Pro, it appears as though it got stuck behind a different safety car queue, so Lynn has pitted and stayed in front.
LMP2
It seems that those different safety cars might have actually extended Hanson's gap to Davidson at the top of the LMP2 tree, rather than nullified it.
LMP2
The G-Drive, after its suspension failure, returns to the track. Vergne is still behind the wheel, and looks to have come back out fourth in class.
Green flag
We're back up and running, the final 23 minutes will be under the green flag - hopefully!
GTE AM
Nielsen is piling the pressure on Campbell for third in GTE Am. A spot on the rostrum at stake - what will he risk?
LMP2
It was actually fifth for G-Drive - the Signatech Alpine of Vaxiviere got ahead of compatriot Vergne to claim fourth-best LMP2.
GTE AM
This is a 20 minute sprint to the finish in Am - fantastic racing between the Porsches and the #83 Ferrari through slower GT traffic.
LMP1
The #1 Rebellion comes in for a final fuel stop. It has a lap over the #7 Toyota, so it can make that call relatively risk-free. On the subject of Rebellions, the earlier problem with the #3 WAS the clutch.
GTE AM
Change for position! Campbell gets ahead of Cairoli into the second Mulsanne chicane but overshoots the corner. Nielsen follows suit but doesn't back out and keeps the pressure on Cairoli into Mulsanne Corner, prompting the #56 car to run wide and drop to fourth.
LMP2
At the front of the LMP2 field, Davidson is 50s away from Hanson. It's between these two at this point - the Panis car of Vaxiviere is too far behind to factor in the fight for class victory.
LMP1
The #7 Toyota and the #3 Rebellions come in for their final splashes of fuel. That'll see them to the end.
GTE AM
Contact! Bit of a lunge from Cairoli - clearly fired up by Nielsen gaining an advantage by driving off-track at the second Mulsanne chicane - into the Ford chicane and the two bang doors like a couple of Honda Civic FK2s at Thruxton. Cairoli is sent into a half-spin and loses momentum, allowing Campbell to escape up ahead.
LMP2
Hanson, at the head of the LMP2 field, has to come in and stop - and he's being told to push. Davidson is 50s behind, and Hanson needs more than that to be sure of retaining the lead after a splash & dash.
GTE PRO
Calado now pits from second for a final splash and dash in the #51 Ferrari. Lynn comfortably clear ahead thanks to that last safety car shakeup.
LMP2
Davidson is told that it'll be "a battle off the pitlane", which means he might have to stop too. Either way, Hanson's trying to gun it to make sure he gets enough of a buffer.
GTE AM
After all of that excitement in GTE Am, Eastwood has a 1 minute advantage out front ahead of Campbell, with Nielsen two seconds back in third and Cairoli another 5s back following that contact.
LMP2
Hanson is being asked to box for a "splash of fuel". It'll be absolutely neck-and-neck when Hanson gets back on track, as he pits.
LMP2
Hanson leaves the pits. Davidson is in the final corners - but Hanson MIGHT just have it.
GTE PRO
The fastest GT lap of the race for Alex Lynn on a 3m50.321s. That just shows what pace Aston had up its sleeve in qualifying if it had wanted to use it - half a second faster than Bruni's pole time!
LMP2
Hanson skips across the Dunlop chicane, which might have been a bit heavy-handed. Regardless, he keeps the lead - and you can see Albuquerque in the garage barely able to keep cool.
GTE AM
Nielsen seems unable to do anything about Campbell in the battle for second in GTE Am, the gap fairly stable at around 3s.
LMP2
Davidson's coming in! Jota blinks and brings in the #38 car, cementing the LMP2 lead for United Autosports.
LMP1
Nakajima is told he has two laps remaining.
GTE PRO
Lynn stroking it home now in the GTE Pro leading #97 Aston. He's won the Sebring 12 Hour and the Macau GP, but this will surely be the biggest achievement of his career to date.
Information
It's the final lap.
Teams gathering expectantly on the pitwall ready to wave their cars home.
