  • Takahach takes his Courage Mugen #24 to the pits and the team is busy changing a rear shock absorber.
  • Luc Alphand Corvette #73 hit the fence at 8:44 and the car suffered slight damage that was rapidly repaired in the pits. #73 was back on track with Pasquali at the wheel but spun a few minutes later on the wet track.
  • Three more cars have retired during the past hour. The Lola Judd #33 of Speedy Racing Team Sebah retired on its 193rd lap after a contact with the Corvette C6.R #69 in the pit lane. The Zytek #45 retired a little later (07:51) after it went of the track at the Michelin chicane and the Pescarolo Judd #16 of Collard- Bouillon-Dumas retired as well because of the engine overheating.
