Driver Change
Hartley has now replaced Bernhard aboard the #2 Porsche. But asides from gains by the ByKolles, the order seems to have settled now.
LMP2
Guibbert hauls the #39 Graff ORECA up to ninth with a lap of 3m28.368s.
LMP1
Another improvement from Webb in the ByKolles as he moves onto a 3m24.170s, finding another six tenths of a second.
LMP1
We have an improvement from the ByKolles! It's back up to sixth with a 3m24.744s but that is almost 10s slower than the fastest Toyota.
Driver Change
In a flurry of LMP1-related updates, all three Toyotas have changed drivers. In order of position, the #7 now has Conway on board, the #8 has Davidson and in the #9 is Kunimoto.
LMP1
On a more serious note, two LMP2 cars have slipped ahead of the ByKolles on the leaderboard so Webb will seek to address that.
LMP1
After 50 minutes of this session, the ByKolles has finally taken to the track with Webb at the wheel. Now can it reclaim the lead in the LMP1 Privateers' class? Oh, hang on...
GTE PRO
Briscoe goes to the top of GTE Pro times with a 3m51.232s in the #69 Ford GT.
Twitter
We're now firmly into darkness running here at Le Mans. Remember, all drivers must complete three night laps to qualify and there were some who didn't tick them off yesterday
LMP2
Sirotkin is now in the #27 SMP Dallara and has improved its time to a 3m29.760s to put it 13th.
Driver Change
We have the first noteworthy point for quite a while in LMP1, with Lotterer replacing Jani aboard the #1 Porsche.
GTE AM
Rees follows up a respectable 3m53.967s lap in the #50 Larbre Corvette with a sizzling 3m52.843s. That's the best in the Am class by nearly four tenths of a second. Sadly his team-mates are somewhat slower - whether this car qualifies on pole or not, it will go backwards once Rees disembarks on race day.
LMP2
Vergne is about to come in for a new set of tyres. That car has been in the mix at or the near the front, so perhaps he'll have a go at improving.
LMP2
Not many quick sectors floating around in LMP2 right now. Guibbert has gone 20th in the #39 Graff ORECA but that's one of very few improvements in the past few minutes.
LMP2
Down the back of P2, Patrice Lafargue improves to a 3m36.230s in the #17 IDEC Ligier. He's 23rd.
GTE AM
Pedro Lamy has gone round in 3m53.233s to put the #98 Aston back on top in GTE Am. Cioci up to third in the #55 Ferrari with 3m53.641s, not quite enough to beat Bell's earlier benchmark but faster than Stevens' time from the previous session.
Twitter
LMP2
The current order is: 1 #26 G-Drive/TDS ORECA, 2 #25 Manor ORECA; 3 #38 Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECA; 4 #13 Rebellion ORECA; 5 #24 Manor ORECA; 6 #37 Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECA.
LMP2
Vergne is on a lap, but so far it doesn't look like it's going to move the #24 Manor ORECA any higher than its current fifth place.
GTE PRO
Now it's kicking off. Christensen pops in a 3m51.847s in the #92 Porsche to go fastest of all, only for Garcia to top that with a 3m51.484s in the #63 Corvette.
GTE AM
The #54 Ferrari has finally crawled back to the pits under its own power after that earlier shunt for Castellacci.
LMP2
Finally, the overnight polesitter improves - Vaxiviere sets a 3m27.108s to move from 12th up to sixth.
LMP1
After those early couple of improvements in LMP1, things have settled down again with no cars currently bettering any of the sector times.
GTE PRO
Fourth place now for Garcia in the second Corvette with a 3m52.089s. That's only the fourth car today to beat last night's quickest time.
Twitter
Information
There's still a little light here at Le Mans, but not very much
LMP2
Gommendy goes sixth in the #37 #Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECA
Twitter
LMP2
Panciatici bangs in a 3m28.891s in the #35 Signatech ORECA. That's in ninth
GTE PRO
Aston, Corvette, Ferrari at the front of GTE Pro:
Driver Change
Another couple of driver changes with Lopez taking over the #9 Toyota and Bernhard now in the #2 Porsche.
LMP1
Quick update for all the ByKolles fans out there. The CLM has yet to leave the pits this session.
Information
Race control warns that car #5 is slow. But there is no car #5...
LMP2
Updated LMP2 top six following that new class-topping lap from Lynn:
LMP1
Buemi in the #8 Toyota has just been given a warning about track limits through Karting.
Stopwatch
Lynn takes LMP2 provisional pole with a 3m25.352s in the #26 G-Drive/TDS ORECA
LMP2
Lynn is on a quick one in the #26 G-Drive/TDS ORECA
LMP1
Looks like there was a slight error from Lapierre in the #9 Toyota just now as he had to straightline a chicane.
