24H Le Mans - Hour 22

As the previous hour was relatively quiet and stable, the start of the 22nd hour was explosive. Within a lap of each other, Marc Gene first went off in the No.3 Audi R18 ultra at the first chicane on the Mulsanne straight and then race-leader McNish in the No. 2 R18 e-tron quattro went off at the Porsche Curves. This leaves the No.1 car with a lap in hand to the finish.

In GTE Pro, despite some great laps from Stefan Mucke in the No.97 Aston Martin Vantage, the two Ferraris of AF Corse and Luxury remain in command. However, as we have seen, expect the unexpected. Stay glued to your seats - anything can happen.
