LeMans Hour 5: Audi running 1-2-3
Audi continues to lead the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours, with all three of its R18s ahead of the Toyotas. The #1 e-tron quattro of 2012 race winners Benoit Treluyer, Marcel Fassler and Andre Lotterer continues to lead the way, although poleman Loic Duval began to close heading into the final stages of the hour.
In spite of occasional problems coming through traffic, Frenchman Duval ended the fifth hour just 38 seconds behind Treluyer, a reduction of 16s since the start of the hour.
