H20: more trouble for Kristensen

While this isn't a too-lengthy operation, the car just keeps hitting problems during this edition of the historic race. Issues started with a broken windscreen, followed by a misfire leading to a fuel injection change in the fourth hour.

In the tenth hour, a collision with another car forced the team to fit a new suspension wishbone. A turbocharger also had to be replaced in the 16th hour.

The car, however, is still in third place.

Meanwhile, the sister No. 8 R10 has been marching on in the lead for over 17 hours, with Frank Biela on driving duty.

No. 17 Pescarolo keeps its second place, while the other C60 has climbed up to seventh position - fourth in class - after having suffered various issues in the first part of the race.

Leading the LMP2 class is still the No. 65 Team RML MG-Lola, after another unscheduled six-minute pitstop. Their lead, however, is a reassuring eleven laps.

Stephane Sarrazin keeps his Aston Martin in the GT1 class lead, a lap in front of the Corvette driven by Olivier Beretta. The other works Aston keeps third place.

GT2 class is still led by the No. 83 Porsche with Lars-Erik Nielsen at the wheel.
