Eight hours remain in the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the No. 51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P, currently driven by James Calado, has a two-second gap to the yellow No. 83 AF Corse Ferrari of Philip Hanson in second.

The trio of 499Ps were effectively in the first three positions after six hours, pitstops aside, while the front-row starting Cadillacs soon dropped back

The pivotal moment came at the start of the 12th hour when a safety car was deployed following Cem Bolukbasi’s crash at Tertre Rouge in the No. 24 Nielsen Racing Oreca 07. Vanthoor brought the car into the pits under the SC, Ye following through in the No. 83 Ferrari despite still having enough fuel onboard.
