Remaining #81 BMW with reported suspension issues.
 
That brake change on the 92 Porsche though. :eek:

These teams are ridiculous. Ford did a pretty quick one earlier in the race. Think it was the #68.
 
#88 had a rear suspension failure. And oh dear the nightmare for BMW continues.
 
Okay, I'll back back in the morning for the rest. Goodnight guys!

#68 must have just changed fronts as they changed rear brakes in that last stop.

I mean, I've been watching Le Mans for quite a few years now and it's the first time I see a complete modular assembly for the brakes. Very reminescent of what Audi was doing with gearboxes in 2000.
 
Smoke followed by a slow Gulf Porsche. Something tells me the 2 are linked.
 
Looks like a few other teams are taking advantage of the slow zone to change brakes: #91, #69, #68, #54 and #52.
 
#10 goes hard into the wall at Porsche Curves.

Doesn't look like it's down for the count though as it's now crabbing its way back to pit road.
 
How is he going to get that car back!?
 
He'll get there, but judging by the amount of crabbing the car is doing, it'll be there for a while.
 
The Ford V Chevy battle has resumed, this time #69 vs #63.
 
Wait. The graphic shows both Toyotas but Eduardo Freitas says just the #7.
 
Well it's not like it's going to change anything.
 
This Toyota battle is to a certain extent starting to make me think of ALMS GT1 2008 with the Corvettes at Mid Ohio.
 
Shouldn't the #8 get a bigger penalty? He's already done it once.

There is no battle. This is contrived.
 
#8 in to serve penalty.

Edit: #7 in to serve penalty now.

Edit 2: I think Toyota is doing team orders here, and I have a feeling it's like Spa all over again.

Slow zone for a beached #28 TDS machine.

Edit: #88 now an official retirement, taking the tally up to 6 now.
 
#52 Ferrari penalty for speeding in pit lane.

#81 BMW gets 5 seconds added to its next pit stop, for pit stop infringement.
 
#81 with 5 seconds to be added at their next stop due to a pit-stop infringement.

Edit: beaten to it.
