00:10 AM - Safety Car is out
The #6 Team Oreca Matmut has crashed. Officials and medics are on scene. It seems that he hit the barrier hard. The back end of the car is pretty damaged. Marcel Fassler is probably not hurt too badly, as he was seen walking into the nearby ambulance.
Coincidently, that is one cool Safety car - an Audi R8 (it can probably go faster than some of the LMGT2 cars)
Update: 00:41 AM: And the race is on again
Also, both of the leading Peugeot's was covered with oil by the #11 Dome Racing Team, when its engine failed. Not something you want on your windscreen when you are driving fast at night.
