Le Mans Hour 9: #7 Toyota leads #8 Toyota by 1 lap
It’s night in Le Mans and the #7 Toyota has now taken a 1-lap lead over the sister #8 Toyota who suffered a brake issue in their #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid.
Conway is back in the #7 car for his second stint, as is Buemi in the #8.
Leading in LMP2 is the #32 United Autosports Oreca is Job van Uitert, who just completed 135 laps. Roman Rusinov was second in the #26 G-Drive Aurus 01, despite a drive-through penalty for co-driver Jean-Éric Vergne.
Classified third in class is the #22 United Oreca, now driven by Philip Hanson, with Antonio Felix da Costa now in the Goodyear-clad #38 JOTA Sport Oreca, running fourth.
The #97 Aston Martin has taken a 1-lap lead in LMGTE-Pro over the AF Corse Ferraris but those standings fluctuate on pit stops so it’s still a real toss-up
