Hour 19: The 15 Dallara hits the pits early in the hour for a new starter. Are they pitted close to Cadillac? Audi ALSO has problems with the starter on the 1 car. It spends quite a spell in the pits and is now on the same lap as the 2 Audi. Panoz officially retired the 12 car this hour with a thrown rod. Another year of trouble for Panoz as neither car finished last year either. 294 laps complete for the lead Audi.
A little update in GTS, the Larbre Competition Viper stuck it in the gravel last hour and has fallen to fourth in class. FFSA is trying to be the first Viper home behind the Corvettes.
In the Porsche class--LM GT officially, it is the Racers Group by mere seconds over Freisinger. Morgan is the last of the GT class cars circulating, but hey they're still going!
