It's 04:10 AM and Peugeot is having problems again
The race continues to be exciting. The otherwise very fast Peugeots seems to have some kind of problem with the cooling system. Both the #7 and #8 Peugeots came into the pit with smoke coming from the back. They quickly fixed it by pumping dry ice through the system, but it did mean that the #2 Audi took the lead (at least for a short while).
This is absolutely exciting, because if this trend continues the battle will continue all the way to the end. If overheating is a problem, it is likely to get worse during the day. Also remember that the Audi needs fewer pit stops than the Peugeot's.
Anything can happen at this stage.

These pit stops the Peugeot's are making are very odd.
