LeMans: Peugeot leads first hour

The three Team Peugeot Total cars have pulled clear at the top of the provisional leaderboard after the first two hours of racing.

After the first round of driver changes, Sarrazin posted a 3m 21.872s to establish a new benchmark time and leads at just after 5pm in the N°8 car…
