14h28m Another lead change. Davidson pits in the #7 Peugeot, and Fassler moves the #2 Audi back into the race lead.
14h27m #71 also struck problems. It rejoins but is slowly crawling back to the pits
14h26m Two cars in the gravel: #33, Barbosa in the Lola-HPD, is beached on the exit of the Esses
14h26m In GTE Pro the #74 has a decent lead over the #51 AF Corse Ferrari.
14h25m Fassler in the #2 Ausi hounding Davidson, but the Peugeot already has a gap of around 1s
14h24m Pagenaud peels into the pitlane just as the track goes green, and will drop to third as a conseuqence
14h23m Change of the lead, as Davidson moves to the front in the #7 Peugeot
14h22m The safety car comes into the pitlane and we are racing once again.
14h21m Safety Car remains out for one more lap at least. Marshals working extremely hard but with crashes of this magnitude there is a lot to clear
14h20m Cars on the Mulsanne straight now, plenty of weaving to keep the tyres warm and the nerves alive.
14h20m The #70 Larbre Competition Porsche has been into the pits. Jean-Philippe Belloc rejoins still in third position in GTE Am.
14h19m Boullion is fine and out of the car, it looks like driver error this time apparently
14h15m Safety Car in this lap, after the wrecked #13 Lola has been removed
14h14m Heavy damage to the front of the #13 Rebellion Lola, although we're still waiting on any more information. The car is at least being removed on the back of a low loader
14h13m The #68 Robertson Racing entry is in for a lengthy stop. David Murry rejoins in seventh place in the GTE Am category.
14h11m Over in LMP2, Kimber-Smith in the lead #41 has lost all of its advantage over the #48 ORECA in second
14h10m There's one car between the Pagenaud and Davidson in the #9 and #7 Peugeots, while Fassler is directly behind in the #2 Audi
14h08m Westbrook is down and away in the #74 Corvette and holds onto the class lead.
14h07m First and second in GTE Pro are both in the pits.
14h06m Advantage Davidson in the #7 Peugeot it seems, although pit stops could separate the field again depending on the length of this course of yellows
14h05m Marshals once again called into action to clear the track of debris from that crash. Still no news on Boullion himself, but the car door was open so one can only hope he was okay and exited the vehicle...
14h03m What this does do, assuming the top three don't become separated during pitstops, is give us a 1-2-3 race when we go back to green.
14h02m Looks like another big shunt, this time for Jean-Christophe Boullion in the #13 Rebellion car.
13h59m The #13 Rebellion Racing Lola has stopped through the Porsche curves, necessitating this latest safety car period.
13h59m The safety car has been deployed.
13h55m Peugeot 1-2 at the front of the field now, although Fassler in the #2 Audi hasn't let this go and is now hounding Davidson...
13h54m Down the field and the #81 Flying Lizard Motorsport Porsche is in for service. The gap was around 90 seconds so it's possible that Spencer Pumpelly can maintain the lead.
13h54m And Davidson is through! The #7 Peugeot claims second now, Davidson finding the slipstream on the run down to Indianapolis
13h53m Davidson in the #7 Peugeot swarming all over the back of Fassler in the #2 Audi now. Pagenaud in the lead #9 908 edging away slightly
13h51m The Hope Racing squad haven't had the most enjoyable of evenings, and their woes continue as the #5 ORECA pulls up on the exit of the second chicane on the Mulsanne straight
13h50m While the battles at the head of LMP1 and LMP2 remain close, gaps are starting to grow a little in the GTE categories.
13h49m Davidson already within one second of Fassler as they tear down the Mulsanne straight
13h49m Boullion pits in the #13 Rebellion Lola, from third in the petrol class
13h49m The #61 AF Corse Ferrari is in and now heading out of the pits from second place in the GTE Am category.
13h48m So, once again top three are covered by less than 30s and it's the #2 Audi splitting the #9 and #7 Peugeots
13h47m And Fassler pits! Lead #2 Audi into the pitlane for a routine stop, and he rejoins in second - with Davidson breathing down his neck
13h46m Fassler's pace in the #2 Audi has slackened slightly and his lead is back down to 37s, as Pagenaud in the #9 and Davidson in the #7 match each other blow for blow
13h44m 3rd and 4th in LMP2 now stop - Ayari in the #26 leading in Barbosa in the #33
13h43m Lead LMP2, #48 ORECA, peels into the pitlane as Kraihamer hands over to David Hallyday. #41 Zytek-Nissan retakes the class lead
13h41m The #77 Felbermayr Porsche is in for a routine stop. Richard Lietz stays in and gets away, but may lose ninth in the GTE Pro category to the #56 BMW.
