Fassler sets the best first sector of the race in sector 1.
Webber pits in the #20 Porsche and rejoins. He should just have had fuel.
Fassler has just set fastest sector of the race in sector one.
Mucke is closing down on Fisi in the Ferrari at the head of the GTE Pro field. He's banging in the 3m57s, while Fisichella is a second or two shy of that every lap.
Slow lap from Fassler after that fastest sector - at least according to the timing screens.
That was a glitch - it was actually a super-fast 3m25s!
The #27 AF Corse-run SMP ORECA has been reported to the stewards for speeding in the pits. It is 12th and last runner in LMP2.
Problem for the #75 ProSpeed Porsche at a pit-stop. The driver's door seems to have fallen off, much to the bafflement of the team.
Panciatici has pitted in the #36 Signatech Alpine ORECA that runs second in LMP2. Looks like he's taken tyres as well as fuel unless it was a very slow stop.
And now a 3m24s from Fassler. Or to put it another way, nine seconds faster than Webber in the Porsche ahead of him.
Things are hotting up in the GTE Pro Class. Fisichella leads in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari, but Mucke's #97 Aston martin is right on his tail.
In GTE Am, things aren't quite so close. The #95 Aston Martin has a big lead over the #88 Porsche.
Mucke is lining up Fisichella for a pass on Mulsanne...
It's a drag race to the first chicane...
And Mucke makes it stick, taking the inside line into the first chicane and taking the GTE Pro lead on lap 239.
Fassler follows it up with a 3m25s - 10s faster than Webber that time.
Yellow flag
Not satisfied with only having the driver's door not attached properly, the #75 Prospeed Porsche has taken to the track with its left-rear wheel loose. The wheel has come off on Mulsanne.
Mucke is pulling away rapidly from Fisichella.
The #98 Aston Martin, 10th in GTE Am, is in the pits.
Yellow flag
The Prospeed Porsche is still parked to the side of the track on Mulsanne.
Up at the front, Gene is extending the lead for the #1 Audi over the #20 Porsche.
The recovering #14 Porsche driven by Dumas has just unlapped itself from the #20 sister car.
Badey has set the fastest lap for the #46 TDS Ligier. It's third in LMP2.
The #75 Prospeed Porsche is being craned off the track. Seems that's it for the GTE Am car.
Fassler brings the third-placed #2 Audi into the pits. He takes fuel and rejoins.
The GTE Am-leading #95 Aston Martin driven by Poulsen is in the pits.
The #92 Manthey Porsche is in the pits for fuel. It's third in GTE Pro.
Frey is in the pits in the #34 Race Performance ORECA. It's fourth in LMP2 and having a decent race.
The #34 Race Performance ORECA is still in the pits. There must be a problem with that car, which has now slipped down to fifth in LMP2 behind the Jota Zytek of Turvey.
Fassler has plonked in another 3m25s - six seconds quicker than Webber that time. An Audi one-two has to be on the cards here.
Webber is going to go a lap down sometime in the next two laps. He's 3m19s down and Gene is lapping five seconds a lap faster.
Badey is in the pits in the third-placed LMP2 #46 TDS Ligier. The #34 Race Performance ORECA is still in the garage and dropping down the order having led the class earlier in the race.
Fisichella has pitted in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari that lies second in GTE Pro and, surprisingly, handed over to Bruni.
Gene puts Webber a lap down into the Dunlop Chicane. The lead Audi is still flying: he's put in a 3m25.5s, quicker than Fassler's 3m25.9s.
Shulzhitskiy's lead in LMP2 in the #35 Ligier is now 2m40s over the #36 Signatech Alpine ORECA.
The leading #1 Audi is in the pits. Gene takes fuel and rejoins.
20-second stop/go penalty for the #27 AF-run SMP ORECA that runs last in LMP2.
The second-placed #20 Porsche is back in the pits. Just fuel and Webber heads back out.
The #34 Race Performance ORECA is now circulating again, but it has dropped to seventh in class. Lancaster is at the wheel.
Panciatici brings the #36 ORECA into the pits from second in LMP2.
