Missed the start, only just joined! Is the Toyota leading on pace or pit stop cycle?

Leading 488's are in the 2:05s and look untouchable. We'll see if they will be there at the end. Rest of GTE high 2:06, 2:07. Fords have fallen back from where they qualified. Ferrari seems to be managing the tires better than anyone as they did at the Nurburgring.

Ford went a lot longer on the first stint than any other GTE. They might be playing the long game. Sarrazin not closing in at all.

Estre vs the ever ebullient Nicki Thiim. Aston vs Porsche.

Sarrazin doesn't close in, the #8 can forget about challenging for the win. Toyota should just stick with Nakajima and Buemi from the next stint on.

Kobayashi matching the leader. Bamber in second is struggling.

Ford must be planning a fuel strategy. They are about as fast as GTE-Am right now.

Kobayashi passes Bamber for second, nice and easy down the back straight.
Edit - I spoke too soon, Bamber was clearly watching Pechito in his last stint. |

Toyota has lost their advantage now. Sarrazin was too slow on new tires and was the leading car. Now Conway has to see if he can hang on. But this crash might help.
