24H Le Mans - Hour 20

With just four hours of the 80th 24 Hours of Le Mans remaining, the action has not stopped on track or in the pits. There may be Audis in positions 1-4 but it hasn't been plain sailing for the all-conquering German marque; could the consistency of the No.12 Rebellion Racing Lola Toyota yet be rewarded with a podium position?

Consistency is the keyword for the No.44 HPD of Starworks as well, the American car having a lap in hand over the No.46 Thiriet by TDS Racing Oreca. Ferrari remains a force to be reckoned with in GTE-Pro, but the No.97 Aston Martin Vantage is turning in fast laps now in an effort to put pressure on the Prancing Horse. No change to GTE-Am either...these last few hours are more intense for teams than the previous 20 put together!
