4 hours into the race…

We are now 4 hours into the race, and things have pretty much settle down. The drivers have got into a good rhythm, and we are seeing far fewer accidents and events.

The most noticeably event is the battle in LMP1, where the #2 Audi has taken the lead. The Peugeots have had some technical problems, but they are still very much in the race. The #7 Peugeot is currently in second place and on the same lap as the leading car.

The other big news is LMGT1. The #50 Saleen lost a wheel and had to limp back to pit.

Apart from that it is the age old battle between the Aston Martins and the Corvettes. Aston is currently in the lead, but they are all on the same lap, so this will probably change in a couple of pit stops.

Overall - a great race.

Ohhh. and the #7 Peugeot has just taken back the lead. And, so has the #63 Corvette.

This is what makes Le Mans so much fun.
