Total 24 Hours of Spa - Hours 16-17

07:05
With just under nine hours remaining, the #24 Lamborghini looks to be in trouble again having slipped back to 19th with what looks like a lengthy pitstop.

07:15
GT3 Racing's Audi R8 LMS is currently 23rd...12 seconds behind the #17 Insight Ferrari and lapping quicker.

Markus Palttala is reporting that the #3 BMW is having trouble firing up and "we lose loads on each stop."

07:20
Bas Leinders is back in the Marc VDS Z4

07:22
Marc Goossens is the latest driver to set a PB time - 2:22.099 for the #75 ProSpeed Porsche in sixth.

07:25
The #88 Von Ryan McLaren is upholding the marque's honour in fine style and is back into the top ten. Chris Goodwin has the car up to ninth.

07:25
"Contact between two cars, one being the nr 49."
"Slow car after T6"

07:28
The #17 Insight Racing Ferrari of Dennis Andersen has just passed the #19 Black Falcon Merc of Stephan Rosler to take 21st.

07:35

07:46
As does Ludovic Badey in the #20 Ferrari.

07:48
2:21.001 for Sandström in the #2 Audi

07:50

The battle for the lead in Pro-Am is between the AF Corse Ferraris of Andrea Bertolini (#52) and Toni Vilander (#51) in seventh and eighth. Just under 20 seconds separate the 458s after 314 laps.

07:58

08:15
ARC Bratislava Porsche spun an rejoined at turn 1. Yellow flags though...

08:18
The 52 and 51 Ferraris have swapped places, so Vilander currently leads Pro-Am. It's not clear, however, where the two cars stand in terms of pitstops.

08:37
Ortelli pits for a routine stop. The race is really very settled at the moment (cue mayhem).

08:43
Marcel Fässler sets an almost-quickest 2:20.058 in the #6 Audi, now 13th overall and ten laps down on the leader. Still more than seven hours to go, so don't write this car off yet.

08:57
Although not officially confirmed, the #40 and #98 Audis look to have joined the list of retirements. If they have, we are down to 39 runners.

08:57
