Pit stop
Conway brings the #6 Toyota in from the lead for a scheduled pitstop.
LMP1
Conway has extended his lead to 1m16s now, so once again he is likely to be out of range to be attacked after his pitstop.
Green flag
That's the end of the slow zone. We're back to green in the first sector.
Pit stop
Buemi brings the third-placed #5 Toyota in on schedule for another stop.
LMP2
Rast is eating away at Menezes' advantage at the front of LMP2, he's got it down to 27s having rejoined after his most recent pitstop 35s behind.
Pit stop
The second-placed GTE Am #62 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari of Sweedler is in the pits.
Slow Zone
Something was awry with the left-rear wheel of the Ferrari when Rigon went off - potentially a tyre.
Slow Zone
A slow zone is being activated to cover the recovery of the #71 Ferrari.
Yellow flag
Rigon isn't going anywhere, and is getting out of the car.
Crash
The #71 AF Corse Ferrari, driven by Rigon, is in the gravel at the esses.
LMP1
Dumas is keeping Conway much more honest in this stint. The Toyota's lead is 1m08s, which gives the Porsche a very good chance of getting on terms with the leader when Conway next stops.
LMP2
Beche pits from the lead in LMP2. Menezes and Rast bump him down to third place.
Driver Out
And while we are on cars that are out, the #91 Porsche is officially out with an engine failure.
Driver Out
For the second time in this race the #47 KCMG ORECA is a retirement. We reckon it's definite this time, the car was buried in the gravel after Bradley's off. Game over.
GTE PRO
Thanks to the safety car, Vilander now has a lead of 69 seconds in class in the #82 Risi Ferrari.
Pit stop
Duval pits the #8 Audi from its lonely fourth place.
LMP2
Beche leads Menezes by 7s in LMP2, while Rast has rejoined 40s off the class lead.
LMP1
Now things have shaken out, Dumas is 1m10s behind leader Conway.
GTE PRO
Hand closes, closes, closes on the Mulsanne straight but Vilander covers him off into the first chicane. The same again into the second chicane. Good driving from the Risi Ferrari man.
LMP2
van der Garde has slowed on Watts in an all-Gibson battle, and looking to take seventh in LMP2.
GTE PRO
Hand's stop, which was longer than his rivals, is under investigation. On-track, he has a sniff at Vilander but backs out of it heading to Mulsanne Corner.
GTE AM
Here's a GTE Am order update: #78 KCMG Porsche; #88 Abu Dhabi-Proton Racing Porsche; #98 Aston; #50 Larbre Chevrolet; #86 Gulf Racing Porsche; #62 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari; #61 Clearwater Ferrari; #55 AF Corse Ferrari; #57 AAI Chevrolet; #83 AF Corse Ferrari; #99 Aston; #60 Formula Racing Ferrari; #89 Proton Competition Porsche (stopped).
Yellow flag
Striebig is around again in the Pegasus entry at Porsche Curves. He made light contact with the inside wall and has stopped.
LMP1
While Kobayashi is putting in 3m23s laps in the leading #6 Toyota, Webber's last two laps have been a 3m29s and a 3m25s. The 14-lap stinting Toyota is now 32s clear of the #1 Porsche.
GTE PRO
Vilander leads again! Not sure what happened as the TV screens opted to focus on a GTE Am fight, but the timing screens now have the Ferrari back ahead.
LMP2
Rao has no match for Hirakawa's pace at the moment. The Thiriet by TDS Racing driver was five seconds faster again last time around and the gap is down to 14s, with Menezes third, 23s behind in total. Striebig, meanwhile, has spun in the Pegasus Racing Morgan.
GTE PRO
Hand leads! He's got the Ford ahead of the Risi Ferrari.
This is how close it is for the top three in GTE Pro

This is how close it is for the top three in GTE Pro

LMP2
Hirakawa has taken some time out of Rao's lead, it's back to 22s. The top three are basically covered by half a minute now.
Pit stop
Webber emerges from the pits just two seconds ahead of Lieb, but the #2 Porsche pits at the end of the following lap as planned.
GTE PRO
Well, the Risi Ferrari's lead has been absolutely slashed. Just 3.1s covers Vilander and the two chasing Fords!
Pit stop
Webber has pitted in the #1 Porsche, so that puts the #6 Toyota back in the lead. In previous cycles the #5 TS050 would also move ahead of the Porsche, but that unscheduled tyre stop for Davidson has dropped it out of range for the moment. Kobayashi leads Webber by 26.9s.
