22h27m The gap is clocked at 18.1s as Peugeot #9 flashes past the pits.
22h26m The #2 is down and away in 52 seconds, heading back out into the lead.
22h26m The leader #2 is in for fuel, with Audi checking for damage after that unnecessary contact with the #7 Peugeot.
22h25m Another stop for the LMP2-leading Zytek #41, which is back underway driven by Olivier Lombard.
22h23m Still a bit of drizzle around but looking brighter around the circuit now.
22h20m #2 seems to be running at full speed and is clocked 1m16s ahead of #9 after surviving that incredible swipe from Gene down the Mulsanne.
22h18m Lotterer is through but it is not clear if there is any damage to the #2 after he was clipped by the unsavory driving from Gene in the #7.
22h16m The battle rages on and it comes to blows on the Mulsanne as Peugeot deploys some very questionable tactics against its rivals.
22h15m Lotterer is all over the back of the #7 Peugeot but once again the French team's drivers are not making it easy for the leading #2.
22h13m The ever-present #41 continues to hold a solid lead in LMP2 after the early morning demise of the overnight leader #49.
22h12m While it is still a bit brighter in the pits, there is still some drizzle falling from the sky.
22h11m Lotterer's pace is improving but he's coming up against the familiar obstacle of a lapped Peugeot.
22h09m 1m21s is the measure on the lead gap from #2 to #9 as the Peugeot gets back up to speed after that recent stop.
22h08m Milner stretching the #73 Corvette's lead again, with the gap back up to 16s over Vilander in the #51 Ferrari
22h05m The #8's intermediates are totally burned out and are well beyond their life after running on the ever-drying circuit.
22h04m Peugeot #8 is in the pits and is planning a change from the intermediates back to slick rubber.
22h03m Julien Canal running well in the lead GTE Am #50 Larbre Chevrolet, and he dives into the pits almost a lap clear of the #70 Porsche in 2nd
22h02m A bit brighter here on the pit straight and it looks like those gambling with slicks during that shower have got away with it, for now.
22h02m Milner back out and the #73 retains the GTE Pro lead - Vilander in the #51 Ferrari is 9s down the road
22h00m Milner into the pits from the GTE Pro lead in the #73 Corvette
22h00m Pagenaud is in the pits for routine refuelling of his #9 car.
21h59m #9 continues a rapid close on the struggling Lotterer with just 20s between the pair at the latest sector split.
21h58m Milner continuing to make progress through the field, and his GTE Pro lead is up to 1m34s over Vilander in the #51 Ferrari
21h57m Pagenaud in #9 is still chopping into the lead gap and is now just 24 seconds behind the #2 Audi.
21h57m Mailleux back out in the #26 Signatech Nissan, while Bouchut takes control of the #33 Lola, one lap down in third
21h56m This shower does appear to be passing and those on wet rubber may begin to have problems with the tyres burning up.
21h55m The rain does appear to have eased off in the last couple of minutes.
21h55m Pagenaud seems much more confident in these greasy conditions and is now clocked just 32s behind the leader.
21h54m Barbosa in the third-placed #33 Lola can't take advantage however, as he pits as well
21h54m Laptimes up front have tailed off into the 4m bracket as everyone struggles for grip in the continuing rain shower.
21h54m Following that spin, Mailleux pits from second in the #26 Signatech Nissan
21h53m Marshals are still recovering the crashed #16 but at least Emmanuel Collard appears to have escaped serious injury in that big off.
21h52m The #49 OAK Pescarolo pits from fourth in LMP2
21h51m Replays show Davidson bounced over the gravel on a wild entry to the pitlane.
21h51m Vilander pits in the #51 Ferrari, having just lost the lead to Milner in the #73 Corvette
21h51m #7 is in for a driver change. It looks like they will gamble on slick rubber as Gene climbs aboard.
21h50m It's all over for the #16 Pescarolo after that heavy off in the Porsche Curves.
21h50m #26 Signatech Nissan off, ironically at the Playstation chicane. He keeps it on the gravel though and resumes
21h49m Rain falling sideways now we can see from the press room window. Time for some big calls from the pitwall.
21h48m Peugeot are readying themselves for a stop and must surely be considering some cut rubber as rain falls ever more intensely.
