The Toyota team is running into one trouble after another and they have lost the lead in the 24 Hours of LeMans. The #1 Porsche with Nicky Tandy at the wheel has assumed the lead of the race at 1:00 AM in the morning.

Porsche claimed the lead after the leading Toyota ground to a halt with a suspected clutch problem.

A safety car caused by Olivier Pla spinning and spraying gravel all over the track out of Arnage had increased the #7 Toyota's advantage to over two minutes.

But just as the safety car period ended, Kamui Kobayashi slowed going across the startline.

The #9 Toyota is now 2nd almost 2-laps behind with the #7 Toyota almost 5 laps down to the leading Porsche.

The #31 of Nicolas Prost continues to lead LMP2 and if the LMP1 cars keep having trouble an LMP2 car might yet win this thing.

The Aston Martins run 1-2 in the GT Pro class but the #91 Porsche is now 3rd ahead of the James Calado #51 Ferrari
