24H Le Mans - Hour 19
The conditions are coming to the remaining cars in the 80th 24 Hours of Le Mans and lap times are beginning to tumble. Several fastest laps have been set in the different classes. Audi's two R18 e-tron quattro hybrids are trading the lead in the LM P1 class as they take pit stops, but the other three categories are stable with their leaders. The bad day of the No.74 Corvette has not improved, as it is still in the pits with a persistent gearbox problem, and the No.30 Status Grand Prix (alternator) and No.33 Level 5 Motorsports (fuel pressure) are the latest retirements.
