Le Mans 24 Hours Live Commentary and Updates

The #38 Jota Porsche is the next to make a stop, with the rejoin likely to be behind the #51 Ferrari in eighth at least.

Replays show that Fuoco made the move on Kobayashi having jumped across the runoff area at the first chicane. That could bring trouble from race control.

We've got an update from United Autosport's bronze driver James Cottingham. "My last two stints weren't quite to plan," he said. "But me spending that time behind the safety car was quite advantageous for us strategically. Now I'm going to leave the boys to do all the hard work overnight!" Saucy is still at the wheel of that car, chasing team-mate Nicolas Pino in what is for the moment a McLaren 1-2.

The #7 keeps Kobayashi onboard and the merge back onto the track is just ahead of Fuoco, who sweeps past at the Dunlop Chicane to take third.

Bachler has served his drive-through penalty as well as his latest stop, so expect to see that Porsche a little lower down the order for a while at least. 

Bamber's charge against Fuoco has come to an end as well, having now fallen almost six seconds off the #50.

Bamber may find himself in trouble if previous penalties are to be taken seriously. The #2 has hit the #11 Isotta Fraschini at the Ford Chicane, sending it into the gravel.

Gregoire Saucy has just set the #59 McLaren's quickest lap of the race. At present the car is seventh in GT3.

Buemi has responded with some fast sectors of his own in the fight with Vanthoor. The gap between the two has stabilised for now.

The #311 has taken its penalty and the stop did indeed put the team a lap down.

Mikkel Pedersen may have briefly stopped out on track, according to the timing screens. But not for terribly long - the Mustang is mobile again and able to slip into second as Lietz pits and hand over to Morris Schuring, who owns that car's quickest lap.

Up front, the #6 PPM is rapidly closing in on race-leading #8 Toyota.

Laurens Vanthoor is the last remaining of the Belgian brothers in the race and he is flying. The gap is down to 1.3s now.

The short answer is no, but Bamber remains on Fuoco's tail.

Fuoco is back ahead of Bamber into the first Mulsanne chicane but again, backmarkers are up the road. Can the Cadillac fight back?

A great move from Fuoco in the #50 - on medium tyres - to get past Bamber's #2 into the second chicane on the Mulsanne.

Bamber is fighting back though and uses LMGT3 traffic to box his rival out of it into Indianapolis.

The #92 Bachler car is under investigation for its slow zone procedures...

Things are quiet in LMP2 at the moment, with the #14 Deletraz car leading but due a stop. Strategies are not exactly aligned at the moment, so it's hard to get a clear picture. Slow zones have also complicated things, but we now have a 'green' track and may get some representative times to report. 

The slow zone has lifted, so the track is back to full green.

Not only is it a Manthey Porsche 1-2 in GT3, but also an Austrian 1-2! I have to mention that as a resident of the Alpine republic, of course!

In GT3 we're about to have a Manthey Porsche 1-2 as the Akkodis Lexus pits. Lietz leads Bachler by 31s, with Mikkel Pedersen third in the Proton Mustang. Next up is the #59 McLaren and the #85 Lamborghini.

Now that things have settled slightly, here's the top 10:

1. #8 Toyota
2. #6 Porsche
3. #7 Toyota
4. #2 Cadillac
5. #50 Ferrari
6. #83 AF Corse Ferrari
7. #51 Ferrari
8. #38 Jota Porsche
9. #3 Cadillac
10. #5 Porsche

That won't affect strategy in Hypercar too much with the stops for slicks having just taken place.

Drama in LMP2 as Miyata spins at the Dunlop chicane. He gets going again, but loses precious time in what is a tight battle. He is currently listed in sixth place.

The #12 Jota follows into the pits and has to serve its penalty, so will drop out of the top 10.

The #66 Ferrari has stopped out on track...
