Kamui Kobayashi in the #7 Toyota GR010 leads the 24 Hours of Le Mans with six hours gone, as his teammate, #8 Toyota GR010’s Ryo Hirakawa in his first Le Mans is under 10 seconds behind.
The #708 Glickenhaus 007 of Pipo Derani is third, with his teammate Ryan Briscoe in fourth in the sister #709 Glickenhaus 007.
#38 JOTA Oreca 07-Gibson continues to lead LMP2 as it has done all race, with Roberto Gonzalez at the wheel. In second is Felipe Nasr in the #5 Penske Oreca 07-Gibson, while the #9 Prema Oreca 07-Gibson of Lorenzo Columbo is in third.
In GTE-Pro #63 Corvette C8.R remains in the class lead, with Antonio Garcia behind the wheel. #92 Porsche 911 RSR-19 of Kevin Estre sits second, with #64 Corvette C8.R of Nick Tandy third.
Finally, in GTE-Am, Cooper MacNeil leads in the #79 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RSR-19. Nicki Thiim is second, driving the #98 Northwest Aston Martin Martin Vantage AMR, with Harry Tincknell, in the #77 Dempsey-Proton Porsche 911 RSR-19 in third.
Despite the lack of competition in the top class, WEC is still by far the pinnacle of motorsport and it’s very easy to watch the entire 24 hours. The new F1 cars are basically LMP1 cars from the mid-late 2000s, and I find myself drifting off from races after 10-20 minutes.
