And in GTE Am, Jonny Adam has almost caught Paul Dalla Lana, despite having made one more stop, so the #90 TF Sport car should be back at the head of the order soon.
In GTE Pro, Ferrari man Pier Guidi now has 10s in hand over the #97 Aston Martin of... er, Martin.
Drive-through penalty for the HubAuto Corsa Ferrari - Marcos Gomes at the wheel currently - for speeding in a slow zone. Naughty boy.
Brundle is now 23s clear of the sister United Autosports car of Albuquerque, the biggest gap between those cars for quite some time.
Deletraz pits in the third placed #3 Rebellion, and rejoins.
The #62 Red River Sport Ferrari, which was in the wars a while ago, is safely back in the garage. Looks like they are trying to replace the left-hand-side door...
"So far, so good," says United team boss Richard Dean. He confirms they changed the tail section on #32 car earlier, as photographic evidence suggested there was an issue that was only likely to get worse.
Jonny Adam's pitted the GTE Am-leading Aston, so Dalla Lana is back out in front.
Norman Nato has taken over at the wheel of the #1 Rebellion from Menezes.
10 hours left of the 88th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours. Here's the state of play:

- #8 Toyota leads by a lap from #1 Rebellion after turbo problem for #7 Toyota
- #32 United Autosports Oreca leads the sister #22 machine in LMP2, with the #38 JOTA car still well within range of the lead pair
- #51 Ferrari and #97 Aston Martin locked in battle for GTE Pro lead
- #90 TF Sport Aston looking increasingly secure at head of GTE Am order
Just as we write that, Lynn brings in the #97 and hands over to his full-time WEC teammate Maxime Martin. We'll see if Pier Guidi can hang on to the lead when he stops next.
And there we are, slow zone confirmed. Meanwhile, Lynn has bought himself a little more breathing space in the GTE Pro fight, he's 3.7s ahead of Pier Guidi now.
Charlie Hollings has lost the #62 Red River Sport Ferrari at the first chicane. Could be on for a slow zone...
This could be a decisive stint in the fight for GTE Am honours, as Adam is now 53s clear of Dalla Lana.
Sounds like it's race over for WeatherTech Racing. "Too much damage", says Vilander after the collision with the #29 Team Nederland Oreca.
Pier Guidi is catching up Lynn in the fight for the lead in GTE Pro, just two seconds now splitting the duo.
Da Costa is in the third-placed #38 JOTA car now, over 1m30s off the United duo.
Brundle has turned the tables on Albuquerque, pulling out an extra 3s lead on that lap.
In GTE Am, Adam's lead in the #90 TF Sport car is now out to 40 seconds over Dalla Lana.
Quick GTE Pro update: There's almost exactly 5s behind class leader Lynn in the #97 Aston and the #51 Ferrari of Pier Guidi.
Front-left suspension being swapped out on the #29 after its firm contact with the GTE Pro Ferrari. And left-rear corner damage too.
They are now nose-to-tail again, however, through the slow zone.
The #22 actually lost time there, being pushed backwards, when the #32 was always going to be released first.
Jota is still in the LMP2 mix. Davidson is only 14s back from the battling United cars.
The LMP2 leaders pit nose-to-tail, coming into the United pits as one!
Albuquerque has been going great guns in his pursuit of United team-mate Brundle. After the last stops, the gap was 17s, now it's less than 2s.
De Vries is back on his way after a lift out of the kitty litter, showering the track with gravel.
Toni Vilander was in the #63 WeatherTech car, so both cars had their top drivers in when they collided. Fortunately, the gravel trap did a great job of slowing both cars down.
Nyck de Vries has put some epic lap times in today, but has now got the troubled Racing Team Nederland car well and truly beached.
Driver change for the GTE Am leader: Jonathan Adam takes over the #90 car from Eastwood, and is more than 20 seconds to the good now.
And we are going Slow Zone in that section of track.
Big crash at Tertre Rouge, as the #29 and #63 get together!
A driver change, from di Resta to Albuquerque in #22, allowed Brundle to regain the class lead for the #32 car, but he's only 3.4s ahead.
