H6: #1 Audi leads Le Mans 24 Hours under caution

Toyota confirmed that the 33-year-old Briton seemed to be OK but that he would be taken to hospital for further checks.

During the lull there was a lead change as Toyota relinquished its hard-earned position at the front back to the #1 Audi through driver changes. Marcel Fassler took over from Benoit Treluyer in the German squad and Kazuki Nakajima climbed in the TS030.

Oliver Jarvis also took over the #4 Audi from Marco Bonanomi, and is running in fourth behind Dindo Capello's e-tron quattro.

Jacques Nicolet recovered the lead of LMP2 in the #24 Morgan following a pitstop for David Heinemeir-Hansson in the erstwhile frontrunning OAK Racing car.

Richard Westbrook leads GTE Pro for Corvette and Julien Canal remains at the top of the GTE Am order.
