LMP2
Graff's Allen has just traded with Capillaire for the next stint, as the Australian takes some respite. Fifth in class so far, the status quo remains. Buret, in the #21 Dragonspeed, also comes in for a stop.
LMP1
Berthon just made a stop in the #3 Rebellion, as he continues to chug along in fourth.
GTE PRO
We speculated about Serra having fresh rubber to challenge Martin, but that hasn't really happened as yet. If anything, Martin has increased his advantage - which now stands at 17s. Bird has slipped further back in third, and is now two minutes off the lead.
LMP2
For those wondering about that Jackie Chan DC Racing car, it's out on track after a long period in the pits. Will Stevens is driving, and will Stevens make up for lost time?
LMP1
Mike Conway's been in for his stop, pitting in the lead and returning to the circuit, er, in the lead. The LMP1 fight is a bit one-dimensional as it stands.
GTE AM
Gunn and Ten Voorde now come in from second and third in GTE Am as Eastwood continues out in the lead for TF Sport. Ten Voorde hanging on gamely as the Silver up against two drivers with more experience - albeit both still classed as Silver, despite being upgraded at the start of this year, due to their grading at the start of the 2019 calendar year when the WEC began.

LMP2
The pit cycle now brings Job van Uitert - leading the LMP2 class at the moment - into the pits. He gets out onto the road, staying ahead of da Costa.
GTE PRO
Pier Guidi has now handed over the #51 Ferrari to Serra, who will have fresh boots to challenge Maxime Martin with in his next stint - that is, assuming Aston kept the same set on for Martin's second stint.
LMP1
Senna pits from third in the #1 Rebellion. It was on the same lap as the #8 Toyota, but will presumably drop a lap down in the LMP1 battle.
GTE AM
We're still waiting for the two Astons to make their next scheduled stops in GTE Am. #83 has made an extra stop due to an early puncture and is pitting earlier in each sequence than their rivals, which can be traced back to Emanuel Collard pitting under a slow zone earlier on to save time.
LMP2
Hanson in the #22 car makes a stop, elevating Da Costa up to second place.
LMP2
Rusinov has dropped to seventh in class, falling behind the #31 Panis, the #39 Graff and now the #27 Dragonspeed. Floersch in the #50 Richard Mille car is not too far away either.
GTE PRO
Sam Bird is now at the wheel of the #71 Ferrari, while Martin stays at the wheel after making his own stop in the #97 Aston Martin. Pier Guidi therefore cycles back to the lead again in the #51 car, but still owes us his ninth stop.
LMP2
Rusinov did make it back to the garage, and G-Drive pulled the #26 machine back into the garage to take a look at what ails him. A quick turnaround, it seems, and they're getting him back out.
Pit stop
Nicklas Nielsen has given up his pursuit of Gunn for second in GTE Am and comes into the pits. Meanwhile Nicki Thiim has also come in from a lonely fourth in GTE Pro, Marco Sorensen taking over the controls.
LMP1
Buemi in second comes in for a stop. It's been a bit lonely for the #8 squad since it went a lap down - but there's still a long way to go.
LMP2
Rusinov is still chugging around with no real pace. Surprising to see him stay out, really - this time, the G-Drive squad seems ready for him to pit...when he eventually gets to the top of the circuit.
GTE PRO
As is now customary, Molina's #71 Ferrari triggers the next round of GTE Pro pitstops. It was this fact that proved so costly under the earlier safety car as Ferrari was unable to stretch the fuel and he was forced to wait at the pit exit, losing touch with the lead pair that pitted after the safety car.
LMP2
Meanwhile, Laurent on the #36 Signatech Alpine car has a spin at the Porsche Curves and somehow manages to recover. It's difficult at this time of night, and you get these little lapses in concentration. Ahead of him, Jamin has pitted for fuel in the Panis Racing car.
LMP2
Rusinov's pause has let both the #22 United Autosports car and the #38 Jota through too. The Russian has stopped once again - the car keeps cutting out and he's going to have to find a way to make it back to the pits.
GTE AM
We didn't clock it earlier, but the #75 Iron Lynx Ferrari which led the GTE Am class earlier on in the hands of Andrea Piccini before being pushed back in the garage has now rejoined, albeit four laps down and P17 in class. Matteo Cressoni is now at the wheel.
LMP2
As I say that! That's a slow Rusinov, in that #26 G-Drive. "I lose the power", he reports, coming to a stop on the straight. A quick reset seems to have helped him, but that's going to cost him a ton of time.
LMP2
Da Costa comes in for a stop, bringing Hanson up to third. The top four of the LMP2 class seems static, since the #31 Panis Racing is quite far behind.
GTE PRO
Martin is continuing his strong pace in the lead of GTE Pro, and eked his advantage over Pier Guidi to 2.4s. Still though, you get the feeling there's more in the tank for both should they need it later on.
GTE PRO
Segal now leaves the pits, but the WeatherTech car is four laps down on the leaders.
LMP2
There's Rusinov, in for a refuel. The #26 G-Drive, once again, will have a #32 car ahead of it on leaving the pitlane. Da Costa won't be too far behind either.
LMP2
The #39 Graff of Allen, who enjoyed a monster first stint in this race, is in the pits for a splash of fuel.
GTE AM
Still the battle over second in GTE Am continues to rage between Gunn and Nielsen. This has the potential to go on and on - next up for both will be experienced campaigners Farfus and Collard.
LMP2
A shot of a nice battle between IDEC Sport's Lafargue and Nico Lapierre in the COOL Racing machine. That IDEC Sport car was way down at the start of the race, and it's now 12th in class. Elsewhere in LMP2, Floersch makes a stop.
GTE PRO
Segal brings the Ferrari back to the pits, where it's pushed back into the garage. Lots of attention at the front end from the mechanics, and it looked like a brake disc being changed on the left-front.
GTE PRO
Woops, a bit of a gravelly moment for Jeff Segal in the WeatherTech Ferrari through the Dunlop Curves. That car is back down in seventh in the Pro class now, ahead only of the much-delayed #92 Porsche after its power steering woes.
LMP2
Rusinov takes over the lead of the LMP2 collective, with van Uitert second in that lead United Autosports car.
LMP2
The #22 United Autosports car has been in, as Brundle ends his stint and Job van Uitert takes on some of the night shift. Meanwhile, Jota's da Costa has just passed Hanson for third in the LMP2 class.
GTE PRO
And now we have a lead change as Martin makes the move stick into Mulsanne Corner.
Twitter
GTE PRO
We've got a terrific battle for the GTE Pro lead unfolding now, as Maxime Martin is piling on the pressure to Alessandro Pier Guidi. The Aston has the fresher tyres, so a move could be on the cards.
LMP2
Meanwhile, second-in-class Albuquerque jumps out to let Phil Hanson take over in the #22 car. Rusinov will presumably shuffle up to second.
LMP1
Nato's in for the #1 Rebellion team, with Senna presumably about to sub in for the French driver.
GTE AM
If you don't know too much about Gunn, he's been a bit underutilised by Aston since joining its factory ranks at the end of the 2015 as the British GT4 champion alongside Jamie Chadwick. But the secret is well and truly out of the bag now, and his co-driver Augusto Farfus was raving to Autosport about his abilities on Friday.
