FIA WEC, 6 Hours of Bahrain - Hour Five

4:13 - and with apologies for a short gap in service - The #1 Audi pits for a nose change - More lighting issues!! 

Signatech's bogey lurks again - a longer than usual stop for #23 sees Rossiter through into third in the #32 Lotus LMP2.

Ahead of the Lola meanwhile Minassian has been taking chunks out of Kimber Smith's class lead - down to 38 seconds as the HPD pits to hand over to Sarrazin.

With the latest pit stops done the gap between the leading #51 Ferrari and the Aston is down to 13 seconds.

Minassian leads after the Starworks stop but his left hand illuminated number display is flickering - heat has been a major issue for the electronics it seems!

4:25 - Gonzalez is in trouble in the Greaves Zytek - he is off track, hits the wall a glancing blow at T8 and spins to the outside of the turn - The driver is fine and initially looks set to get out of the car but re-boards, fires up and motors around to pit with damage to the front right  - The TV replay seems to suggest the #41 was hit by another car before the crash.

4:28 - Safety car is on standby with debris, possibly from the Zytek - on track at T11.

4:33 - Safety Car rolling.

The Toyota and #2 Audi are pitted under the Safety Car - Both are held at pit exit to allow the train to pass.

The Zytek repair is completed in a little over 5 minutes - excellent work by the Greaves squad - Elton Julian rejoins, still 7th but having lost track position.

4:39 - Safety Car withdrawn.

4:42 - The Toyota is off the track at T12 - In the gravel and Lapierre is out of the car - The Toyota is a retirement - after contact on the right side.

Strakka are the team most likely to profit from Toyota's misfortune but the #21 HPD is running slowly - was this the contact? - Kane pits and emerges after a 90 second stop.

Minassian has pitted twice in recent laps - Sarrazin leads the class for Starworks.

4:45 Kane is up to third - but it was a clash between #21 and #7 - and the stewards are looking at it.

It appears that Olivier Beretta is prime suspect in the incident with the Greaves Zytek Nissan - the #71 Ferrari apparently held up for several corners before Gonzalez made his way by only to be contacted almost immediately in the rear. That incident is now under investigation.

So we'll definitely have a petrol privateer on the overall podium for the first time since Sebring.

JRM rejoin the race after a VERY long stop to solve electronics woes.

Minassian hasn't given up on the fight with his ex colleague  - he's closing in on the class leader as the final hour approaches.

Kane and Prost are lapping very quickly - Rebellion keen to find out whether the stewards will react to the Toyota Strakka Incident.

Unseen here but it seems the Safety Car may have rather spoilt the GTE Pro lead battle - the Aston Martin is now over a minute behind the #51 Ferrari.
