Nightfall at Le Mans - #9 Peugeot off the track

It is slowly getting darker every minute now, and a time where some drivers start to make mistakes. The tracks changes, the surface changes, the humidity in the air changes, and the glare from the other cars headlines are much stronger.

Of course, the most important event was when the #9 Peugeot spun off the track and got itself stuck in the gravel. It is back on the track again, but it lost a lot of time.

This year's Le Mans is looking to be very exciting. The battle for the lead is very exciting - in all the 4 classes. Audi and Peugeot are battling for the lead, and Tom Kristensen is going really strong at the moment. The Peugeot set the fastest lap, at 3:19:394, which is a phenomenal lap time.

The Aston Martins and Corvettes in LMGT1 are constantly switching places.

So lots of excitement here at the beginning of the night.
