Hour 13: The hour of spins as the Bentley, 66 Saleen, and the Freisinger Porsche all stick it in the gravel.
But the big news is the retirement of the class leading prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello. Alain Menu first reported an intermittent oil light and made it to the Porsche curves before the lump packed up. They had a comfortable lead on the Corvettes and were still outrunning them each lap. Hindsight is always 20/20 but maybe they should have played it a little closer to the vest? Corvette will surely go 1-2 again this year.
The 12 Panoz made it back out, while the MG wheeled in for a precautionary gearbox change. Seeing as the sister car lost drive on course earlier in the evening this was a good call.
Morgan had a broken driveshaft but managed to get for repair, they have since rejoined. It is still Freisinger/Racers Group for the lead.
