The Indianapolis turn claimed a new victim shortly after 10 o’clock. Antonio Felix Da Costa smashed the front of his Porsche Jota number 38. A pit stop is required. A slow zone was also deployed, with officials having to clean the track and remove the debris.<\/p>\n
Ferrari number 51 has entered the pits for a pit stop. It stayed for a long time. Very long. Too long in its spot. The Toyota, which was one minute behind, didn’t ask for that much. The #8 has easily taken the lead again.<\/p>\n

Alessandro Pier Guidi and S\u00e9bastien Bu\u00e9mi did not want to give in. The two men were fighting for first place. At the entrance of the Porsche S curves, car #8 was hindered by an LMP2.
