24H Le Mans - Hour 13

After all the disruptions and changes of recent hours, a steady pattern has emerged for the 13th hour of the race.

Audi remains steady at the front, with just the No.12 Rebellion Racing LM P1 entry managing to split the rings of the German marque. In LMP2 there is no change either, as last year's class winner Tom Kimber-Smith is currently leading the No.44 Starworks entry ahead of a train of Orecas.

In the production-based GTE classes, the No.97 Aston Martin Racing has made a steady climb to third and is lapping at a good pace in the hope of chasing down the two Ferraris ahead of him. The French IMSA Performance Matmut team is showing the way to both the No.50 Larbre Corvette and the No.57 Krohn Racing Ferrari.
