Le Mans Hour 13: #7 Toyota loses 6 laps, #8 leads
At the 12-hour mark the two Toyotas led the 24 Hours of Le Mans comfortably. Then disaster struck.
A turbo problem on the leading #7 just after half-distance handed the lead to the #8.
Kobayashi led teammate Brendon Hartley by about 1.5 laps before stopping for a turbo change, while Gustavo Menezes is leading the Rebellion Racing charge, ahead of Romain Dumas 1 lap and 3 laps off the lead respectively.
