ILMC, Zhuhai - Hour 3

The GTE Pro leading #55 car pits and is followed in next time around by the sister #56 car. Makowiecki stays out for now and takes the class lead.

The #15 Oak Pescarolo looks to be in trouble - the car refusing to start after a pitstop and the team rocking the car to and fro. It's either starter motor or its overtired!

#59 pits - Mako out - Ortelli in and we're back to a BMW 1,2; Priaulx putting in a fantastic set of laps to pull away from Jorg Muller.

Fassler pits - fuel only - on Lap 92. He rejoins in third and it's a 908 1,2 again for the moment - Sarrazin pits though next time around, fuel only. Fassler rejoins in second just four seconds ahead of Kristensen (who owes us a stop very soon).

Trouble for the #26 Signatech Oreca Nissan, the P2 class leader has the engine cover off but rejoins .

The AMG is back in the garage after only a very short time back on track.

Bourdais pits from the lead - Fassler now leads. Davidson climbs aboard the #7 Peugeot and rejoins in third position after taking both fuel and tyres.

Kristensen pits - fuel only for the #2 R18.

The leading three cars are still within just 13 seconds as Sarrazin looks to close the gap to Fassler - under six seconds on lap 101 - with Kristensen under a minute from his team mate.

Roald Goethe is off and into the gravel at Turn 11 in the #60 Aston Martin.

Sarrazin is now just three seconds back from Fassler.

Goethe gets the car back to the pitlane where it's wheeled back into the garage - so too is the #98 Audi R8, currently the GTC class leader.

Neel Jani has (finally) ceded driving duty in the Rebellion Lola Toyota to Nicolas Prost, the #12 car still sixth overall.

Sarrazin is right in the wheeltracks of Marcel Fassler, the lead gap just half a second on lap 113!

Fassler fluffs a pass on one of the Luxury Racing 458s - there's contact and that's enough to give Sarrazin the lead. Davidson meanwhile is closing in on Fassler too; the Peugeot's pace gets him right onto the back of the #1 car and a half-lap later we're back to a 908 1,2.

McNish is about to climb aboard the fourth-placed #2 R18.

Davidson is looking racey in the wheeltracks of the leader - the gap under a second - and on lap 120 he leads.

The #2 Audi pits early - McNish, in the car but it goes in the box - the team clearing out the brake ducts and attending to something right at the rear of the car. Fassler pits from third - on schedule - sporting visible damage from the clash with the Ferrari.  Timo Bernhard climbs aboard and the car takes tyres too.
