LMP2
Just as the #39 Graff was closing in the #36 Signatech Alpine machine, the latter pits - which will allow Graff driver Allen to reclaim a top-five position in class.
GTE AM
The battle for second in GTE Am continues as Cairoli rejoins just ahead of Campbell, who pitted two laps previously. Nielsen resumes fourth, but 20s behind the squabbling Porsches.
GTE PRO
Now in from the lead comes Tincknell, handing over to his team-mate Lynn. The last time the pair were team-mates was at Macau in 2012, driving for the Fortec F3 team. As memorable as any weekend at Macau is, this might well trump it...
GTE AM
The second and third place cars in GTE Am both pit together, with Ten Voorde followed in by Nielsen. Cairoli jumps aboard the Porsche and will take it to the finish, but Nielsen will stay in the Ferrari.
GTE PRO
Tincknell has responded to that small gain from Serra by extending the gap again, back to 1m11s at the front in GTE Pro now.
LMP1
The two Rebellions make fuel stops, while elsewhere in LMP1-land, Lopez clunks the final chicane quite hard and leaps over the kerb.
GTE PRO
Serra found a second over Tincknell last time around, but the gap still stands at 1m09s.
Pit stop
A few more pitstoppers in the GTE classes including the fourth placed Am Porsche of Matt Campbell and Marco Sorensen from third in Pro, the Aston man having to serve an extra 5s for that pitstop infraction.
LMP2
Fourth-in-class Panis Racing brings Julien Canal's stint to an end, and Mathieu Vaxiviere takes over for the last stretch. The fifth-placed Graff car also comes in, but Allen stays on board - nonetheless, this brings the Signatech Alpine car up to P5.
GTE AM
Nielsen and Campbell remain just 2.5s apart in third and fourth in GTE Am, but neither have been able to make much of an impression into Ten Voorde ahead.
LMP1
After the two Rebellions were battling away, the slow getaway for the #3 post-pitstop has given the #1 a 17-second advantage, which seems pretty stable. Nato just needs to find five laps on the #8 Toyota at the front of the field in these final two hours. Easy innit?
GTE PRO
A five-second penalty handed to the #95 Aston currently third in GTE Pro for a pitstop infringement. It's been a lonely race for that car so far, Sorensen two laps behind and in front of his nearest rivals.
LMP2
Le Mans veteran Nico Lapierre is now on board the COOL Racing Oreca, which he'll presumably take to the finish.
GTE PRO
Very little movement still in the GTE Pro lead 'battle', as the gap remains around the 1m15s mark between Tincknell and Serra. With just two hours and four minutes to go, if the Ferrari is going to make any inroads, it needs to start doing so now.
GTE AM
Ross Gunn is indeed back inside the top 10 in GTE Am in the #98 Aston Martin which lost six laps earlier to the rear suspension issue. A case of what could have been as four cars remain on the lead lap.
LMP2
Da Costa completes his turn behind the wheel of the #38 Jota car, and Anthony Davidson gets behind the wheel for the final two-and-a-bit hours.
Autosport's supply of Digestives is dwindling, but we're still going strong with a little over two hours to go. Will there be any late twists in the tail?

GTE AM
After chipping a minute out of TF Sport's lead in the Am class when Yoluc was at the wheel, Ten Voorde hasn't been able to make any further inroads into Eastwood and is still 2m53 behind, 16s clear of the squabble between Nielsen and Campbell for third.
LMP2
Di Resta comes in for fuel, and emerges on the same piece of track as Jensen in the G-Drive. However, the orange car is a lap down.
GTE PRO
Tincknell's lead was extended further in that last round of pitstops by around 10s. His advantage now stands at 1m16s over Serra.
GTE PRO
Behind Sorensen, who remains two laps down in third, it's all rather spaced out in GTE Pro. He has two laps in hand over Sam Bird in the #71 Ferrari, who in turn is two laps ahead of Sebastien Bourdais in the #82 Risi Ferrari. The two Porsches delayed by electrical and power steering problems respectively bring up the rear of the class which, you have to say, does miss the extra variety of the Corvette, Ford and BMW.
LMP1
Hartley ends his stint, and Nakajima now takes over to presumably see the #8 home.
LMP1
Menezes out, Nato in. With no problems out of the box, the #1 now assumes second place in class.
GTE PRO
Now in comes Serra after holding the GTE Pro lead for a short while, cycling Tincknell back to the lead.
LMP1
Deletraz really struggled to get out of the pit box there, juddering forward until eventually finding the momentum to get the #3 car moving. That might let the #1 car past next time around.
GTE AM
Ten Voorde now pits from second in GTE Am and looks to have held onto the place.
LMP1
Dumas comes in to pit, with Deletraz ready to take on the final shift of the race. Menezes will switch out for Nato on the next lap.
GTE PRO
The number of ongoing pitstop investigations continues to mount as Westbrook's handover to Sorensen in the third-placed #95 Aston now joins the pile.
LMP1
Rebellion is ready for driver changes in both cars: Deletraz will take over the #3 in a couple of laps, and Nato will take over the #1.
GTE AM
Meanwhile Nielsen's #83 Ferrari has cycled ahead of the Campbell-driven #77 Proton car, which will likely become the battle for second when Ten Voorde makes his next stop.
GTE AM
Yoluc has meanwhile pitted from the lead of GTE Am and handed over the #90 TF Aston to Eastwood. Ten Voorde had got the gap down to a shade under 3 minutes, but expect it to stabilise now the Aston works driver is aboard the car.
LMP2
A few driver changes in LMP2: Visser takes over from Floersch in the #50 Richard Mille car, Paul Loup Chatin is in the #28 IDEC, and Bobby Merhi is in the #35 Eurasia machine.
GTE PRO
Driver change meanwhile in the #97 Aston as Tincknell jumps aboard once again. He told Autosport on Friday that the third man job is all about being 'low maintenance', but he's certainly pulled his weight in that car so far.
GTE AM
Matt Campbell is now back behind the wheel of the #77 Dempsey-Proton car, so expect a big push from him to consolidate the second in class previously held by Pera before the driver change.
GTE AM
Inthraphuvasak has got going again after that spin. Seemed to take a long time to get it restarted, as his 9m58s lap attests. That's a six minute loss, equivalent to almost two laps for the car that was running on the fringes of the top five in GTE Am.
Yellow flag
The especially-awkward-to-type Vuttikhorn Inthraphuvasak has spun the #99 Dempsey-Proton Porsche at the Ford chicane, so yellow flags flying there - although he's not hit anything it seems.
GTE PRO
In comes Westbrook to hand the #95 Aston back to Marco Sorensen. That will likely be the final stint for the Ford refugee in this race.
LMP2
Some LMP2 stops too - da Costa makes a visit to the Jota pit, while Negrao passes the Signatech Alpine baton to Laurent.
LMP1
Kobayashi hands control of the #7 to Jose Maria Lopez, as the mechanics apply some new tear-offs to the windshield.
