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
Nielsen is piling the pressure on Campbell for third in GTE Am. A spot on the rostrum at stake - what will he risk?
Green flag
We're back up and running, the final 23 minutes will be under the green flag - hopefully!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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?
The pit entry is now closed.
Well, there's a late twist. This could have major repercussions for several of the classes.
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.
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.
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.
Twitter
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.
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.
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.
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.
GTE AM
The Laskaratos-driven Porsche has made it back after its latest mishap. Bravo sir.
Slow Zone
A slow zone is imminent to repair the damaged tyre barrier. Will this afford any opportunities for late changes to the order?
GTE AM
He's managed to reverse it out and is attempting to drive it back, but there's significant damage to the front left corner.
Yellow flag
Shunt at Tertre Rouge - Lucas Legert's #99 Proton Porsche has nosed into the tyre wall.
LMP1
Deletraz gets back out after a spell in the garage. According to the screen, Rebellion's issue has lifted the #7 Toyota up to third. In the other Toyota, Nakajima came in for a routine pitstop.
GTE AM
Cairoli is consistently chipping away at Eastwood in GTE Am, but surely there's not enough time left to get onto the tail of the Northern Irishman, even though he found 4s last time around. Eastwood has the luxury of knowing he has more pace should he need it, whereas the Italian is totally ragging that Porsche - how different things could have been without the penalty for Perfetti's slow zone penalty...
LMP2
The LMP2 leading United Autosports made its final driver change, with Hanson taking over from di Resta.
LMP1
The OTHER Rebellion is now in the pits too, Nato had to be backed up to get the fuel hose in. It's a bit slow away too, perhaps the clutches are just too worn out at this stage. The hybrid Toyotas won't have that problem, as they can use the ERS to get the car off the line.
LMP1
Rebellion does indeed bring Deletraz in to check his brakes. They're changing his rear bumper to make sure there's no damage to his R-13, and gets fresh boots too. But again, they just can't get the car started! They spin him up on the jacks, there's a spin of a wheel, but it can't get away.
LMP1
Deletraz has a lock-up at Indianapolis, and clunks that #3 Rebellion against the tyres. He continues for now, but he might have to be brought in to check his brakes.
LMP2
Allen pits, ceding control of fifth in the LMP2 rankings to Laurent - but he's only 7s behind. Behind them, Chatin gets out of the #28 car for Bradley to finish the race.
Yellow flag
The eventful race for the #89 Project 1 Porsche - which had a high-speed blowout at the Porsche Curves earlier - continues as Laskaratos goes off at the chicane to end up in the gravel. It's managed to extricate itself though and is crawling slowly back.
GTE PRO
Calado was 3s quicker than Lynn last time around - but the Aston man has been around the block a few times and knows not to let minor blips in traffic distract his attention. Calado will need plenty more slices of luck to gain the time back.
LMP2
Serial gravel-botherers Inter Europol are still out there, 61 laps off the leader but inexplicably 18th in class having managed to stave off the intermittent spectral apparition of the Grim Reaper. Ex-GP2 journeyman Rene Binder is currently in the hotseat of the lemon-and-lime car.
GTE AM
Cairoli was 3s faster than GTE Am leader Eastwood last time around, but TF Sport still fairly comfortable out front - the gap is 2m27s between the Aston and the #56 Porsche.
GTE PRO
Big job ahead here for Calado to close the 1m10s gap to Lynn in the final 80 minutes. Is it realistic? Never say never...
GTE PRO
Now Serra pits to cycle Lynn back to the lead. Calado does indeed jump aboard the #51 Ferrari.
LMP1
Lopez pits for fuel, having earlier been told that he was triple-stinting his tyres.
LMP2
Oh my! Yamanaka baulks the #32 United Autosports car at Indianapolis, forcing driver van Uitert to skip past on the gravel - with a Toyota right in the middle of all that. Elsewhere in LMP2, McMurry has passed Visser for ninth in class.
GTE PRO
Before you get too excited at the 9s gap between Serra and Lynn, the Ferrari still owes us a pitstop. James Calado is being readied in the pits to take the #51 car to the finish.
