• The older generation Team Kolles Audis had both had great runs to reach 5th and 6th postions overall, but both are suffering a bit Charles Zwolsman Jnr in #14 is having an gearbox oil refill. The driver was also complaining about gearbox problems, and had great difficulties going through the gears. As far as the #15 car is concerned, it seems to have gone into "lawnmower mode" as the mechanics are replacing the front right axle. The evidence of the car going off-course is visible on the bodywork.

  Both Audi R10s had had an eventless race so far. They are now losing positions on the leader board from their initial 5th and 6th positions.They are now 9th and 11th.

• At the end of the night it was looking good for the second Oreca, as Senna, Ortelli and Monteiro were in the top 15 overall.
  However, Ortelli spun off, and damaged the extractor of the LM P1 car. Having no spare parts left, the team has no other choice but to retire the #10. Big disappointment for the team who had put in a lot of work on the car. The good news is, the #11 sister car driven by Panis, Lapierre and Ayari is an encouraging 5th overall.
