12h06m All of this means that marathon man Treluyer now has a 1m52s advantage over Pagenaud.
12h04m That stop also dropped the #7 behind the #8 being driven by Stephane Sarrazin.
12h03m Wurz on the other hand has swapped with Anthony Davidson, who has got a fresh set of boots and tank of diesel.
12h03m The #50 Larbre Competition Chevrolet Corvette has now taken the lead in GTE Am, following those stops for the #81 and the #70.
12h02m Pagenaud left the pits with just fuel to resume in second position.
12h02m Both #9 and #7 are in the pits at the same time.
12h01m Pascal Gibon climbed out of the #70, handing over to Jean-Philippe Belloc. Fuel and tyres for that car and Belloc heads into the night.
12h00m Half distance...
11h59m Alex Wurz is a further six seconds back.
11h59m More action in the pits and the #70 Larbre Competition entry is in the pits, having just taken over the lead in GTE Am.
11h59m Simon Pagenaud is now 54s behind the #2 leading Audi, though he will need to stop soon.
11h58m Just in case you were interested.
11h58m The Extreme Limite Norma is being worked on in the pits. The car is currently 41st overall and 36 laps down on the leaders.
11h57m Law was leading the GTE Am category and it remains to be seen if the #70 Larbre Competition Porsche takes over the lead.
11h57m Treyuler stays in the car after another stop. That's a quadruple stint for the pole-sitter who still leads the race.
11h56m The #81 has been into the pits and Darren Law will now have that vibration checked out.
11h56m Eventually Watts stopped at the first chicane with a strong smell of oil in the car, so the Strakka team suspects an oil cooler problem. Game over.
11h55m Then when he returned to the track he had high-speed understeer.
11h55m Danny Watts had a torrid stint. First he had a flat spot, then he hit a kerb, which is why the team changed the nose.
11h54m Well it appears that last year's LMP2 winner is out of the race.
11h51m The #59 Luxury Racing Ferrari is in and out of the pits. It is fourth in another relatively close battle in GTE Pro.
11h51m Strakka man just turned up next to me at my desk...
11h49m Larbre Competition is poised to take the lead in class as this terrific battle for supremacy in GTE Am as and when Lew brings the #81 in.
11h46m According to @FlyingLizard_MS, Darren Law has a vibration and will pit early to investigate.
11h46m The #74 leaves pitlane after routine service and maintains first place.
11h46m The GTE Pro leader is in and Jan Magnussen remains on board.
11h44m Another lead change in GTE Am and the #81 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche is back at the front, with the two Larbre Competition cars tracking it closely.
11h44m Duval has taken the rapidly repaired ORECA Pug back on track. It only lost five laps and is now in eighth position.
11h42m The #73 Corvette has been in and out of the pits. Tommy Milner remains in the car for another stint and remains third in class.
11h41m Stephane Sarrazin goes back out on track for another stint after taking on more fuel.
11h40m The ORECA Peugeot is now down to eighth overall. Work still going on.
11h39m So we're recording it on the dictaphone. We might play it back to him later!
11h39m Vilander has been consistently quicker than Jan Magnussen since the last restart - typically one to three seconds per lap each time round.
11h39m There is a Japanese photographer sleeping next to us, who is actually snoring louder than the passing Corvettes.
11h38m Olivier Lombard is still going great guns at the front of LMP2. The Greaves Zytek is still a lap ahead of the long-time former leader - the #48 Oreca with Dominik Kraihamer at the wheel.
11h37m In GTE Pro, Toni Vilander is still pressing on in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari. He remains in second place but is now under two-and-a-half minutes behind the class-leading #74 Corvette.
11h35m The ORECA Peugeot's spell in the garage has dropped it to seventh. Julien Jousse is now fifth for Pescarolo and Andrea Belicchi sixth.
11h35m The lead in GTE Am now returns to Larbre Competition and its #70 Porsche. Pascal Gibon is currently behind the wheel.
11h34m But try as they might, the Peugeots are not making the kind of impact on the leading Audi that they would like.
11h34m Pagenaud is working hard to recover that time and continue the good work done by Bourdais in his previous stint in the #9 car.
