Peugeot led the centenary Le Mans 24 Hours race into Sunday morning after reigning champions Toyota lost one of their two cars and Ferrari spun out of the lead in tricky conditions.
With more than eight hours gone at the Sarthe circuit, the number 94 Peugeot with Nico Muller at the wheel had a 90-second lead over the pole-setting number 50 Ferrari before pitting under safety car conditions.
Britain's Nick Tandy had led in the number 75 Porsche Penske 963 entry as the clock reached six hours, but he pitted soon after with the Hypercar hierarchy far from settled and rain falling."It was very difficult to keep the car on track," said Spaniard Miguel Molina who shares the 50 Ferrari with Italian Antonio Fuoco and Denmark's Nicklas Nielsen.
The number 38 non-factory Jota Porsche 963 led in the fifth hour but China's Ye Yifei crashed heavily at the Porsche Curves with the car's rear bodywork torn off in the sideways impact with the tyre wall.Toyota had led the 51 Ferrari by 4.6 seconds at the first hour marker after U.S. basketball great LeBron James waved the French flag to start the race.
