LeMans Hour 10: Peugeot continues to lead

Autoracing1

Leading No. 7 Peugeot

The N7 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP continues to lap at the head of the field after taking the lead shortly after the nine-hour mark (10.08pm). With Marc Gene and then Nicolas Minassian at the wheel, it has gradually pulled further clear of the N2 Audi and, with more than 2,200km covered since Saturday afternoon's start, the margin between the top two cars has been extended to more than two minutes. The top six hasn't changed since the last news bulletin, although the N8 car continues to gain ground on the leading pack after its long pit-stop earlier in the evening.

Observations: Just before midnight, the N8 Peugeot was slowed when its windscreen was covered with oil thrown up by another competitor. Wurz had to make an unscheduled stop to have it cleaned. The Safety Cars made their first appearance of the race at 00.10 after a crash involving the N6 Courage. All three Peugeots profited from the interruption to refuel before the race re-started at 00.42.
