11h32m The #4 Creation Autosportif entry is in the garage once again for further repair. After a lengthy spell on the fringes of the top 20, the car has slipped down the classification to 32nd place. The problems of the last two hours have really hurt their progress.

11h16m Klien is now an impressive 63 seconds ahead of the Pescarolo Judd #16 in ninth - the car he was racing just a short time ago. Klien is due in the pits soon and we will watch to see if he keeps hold of eighth following his stop.
11h14m While the second place battle raged, Christian Klien took the #7 Peugeot up into eighth place as Soheil Ayari pits the Oreca AIM #11.

10h39m The #4 Creation is into the pits and wheeled into the garage sadly. Romain Iannetta had gained another place and was up to 17th position, but this latest issue will drop the car back down the order.
