Le Mans 24 Hours, Hour 23

Simon Pagenaud pits from the lead - #9 stays on slicks and Graham Tyler reports that the pitlane is dry.

Pagenaud emerges 80 seconds back from the lead Audi - Peugeot wheel away cut slicks from the front of the garage.

The third in GTE Am JMB Ferrari is in the garage - The Robertson Ford is sevwn laps back - Could the plucky little team make it onto the podium? What a wedding anniversary present that would be for David and Andrea Robertson.

There's light rain again on the pitlane.

Gene in the fourth placed #7 Peugeot goes straight across the kerbs at the Dunlop Bridge.

13:16 Peugeot's Marc Gene hits Lotterer twice (we believe) on the Mulsanne, once into the second chicane and again pushing Lotterer across to the left and off the racing surface!

Lotterer gets by Gene on the exit of Mulsanne Corner - Not Gene or Peugeot's finest hour.

"There was no blue flag." was Quesnell's answer to Graham Tyler's question

Wolfgang Ulltich's response "I remember Zhuhai and i hope they won't play it again because this would not be a nice game."

Lotterer pits from the lead - fuel only and he emerges before Pagenaud crosses the line - gap 18 seconds after sector 1

Marroc in the JMB Racing #83 is back out on track, still four laps clear of the fourth placed Robertson Racing Ford GT in GTE Am

"We wish Mike is ok" sign at Peugeot Sport... not especially consistent with their treatment of Lotterer a few moments ago...

13:35 JMB Racing Ferrari now slow on track again, as the #7 returns to the pit for another scheduled pit stop.

And another near-miss for Andre Lotterer as he goes around the outside of the ProSpeed Porsche at the Porsche Curves exit!!

JMB Racing: Clutch problem they can't solve. Have decided to sent the car out again.

Robertson Racing: "We've got the reliability, just don't have the performance. Hope it will do the distance."

Gene made a mistake at the second Mulsanne chicane and went wide, easy overtaking for Pagenaud.

13:43 Pagenaud in for a scheduled pit stop - refill, cleaning the windscreen and away it is.

#83 JMB Racing Ferrari 430 back in the box - gap to Robertson Racing are now just 3 laps down.

Nic Minassian pits. Another regular stop from the third placed car.

Problems for Team Oreca Matmut, after putting duct tape on the car it doesn't fire up. Quickly moved into the box and problem fixed, around 2,5 minutes lost.

13:53 And once again the OAK Racing #35 is slow.

13:56 Robertson Racing has passed JMB Racing, but the Ford GT enters the pit just as the Ferrai leaves.

JMB Racing car out on track though without switching on its lights.
