Peugeot has righted the ship and are leading again.
Autosport.com; With five hours gone the No.7 Peugeot continues to lead. Driver Jacques Villeneuve is running laps around the 3:27 mark. The No.2 Audi in second place is still within striking distance, now just 19 seconds behind.
But behind the front two Franck Montagny is flying in third place in the No.9 Peugeot. He just set the fastest lap of the race so far with a stunning 3:20.600, and is catching the leading duo at over seven seconds per lap.

The No.7 Peugeot 908 HDi driven by Jacques Villeneuve at the moment leads the race by a decreasing margin over the No.2 Audi (Rinaldo Capello) . The Audi is consistently quicker on the circuit, to the tune of four seconds per lap.
The No.9 Peugeot with Christian Klien at the controls lies third, with the No.3 Audi in fourth. The No.1 Audi in fifth place had been running in close company with the No.3, but there is now a one lap difference between them.
The No.17 Pescarolo Sport entry runs in sixth position, almost six laps behind the fifth-placed car. However they comfortably lead the race for the Petrol honours.
The recovering No.8 Peugeot of Pedro Lamy is homing in on that sixth position and trails the Pescarolo Judd by 2 minutes 39 seconds.
