At the two and a half hour mark of the 10-hour Motul Petit Le Mans race, Matt Campbell is leading for Porsche Penske Motorsports. However, two of their IMSA GTP championship rivals, Alexander Sims and Sheldon van der Linde, have caused significant damage to their own title hopes. Both drivers ran the red light at pit exit during a pit stop, resulting in new bodywork for their cars and penalties. As it stands, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport is in control of the championship. Additionally, a full-course caution caused trouble for Meyer Shank Racing and Paul Miller Racing. Corey Lewis made contact with Tom Blomqvist’s Acura, sending both cars off track and causing repairs to be made. Campbell leads the race, followed by Sebastien Bourdais and Mike Rockenfeller. In LMP2, the PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports’ No. 52 ORECA is in the lead. Bijoy Garg leads in LMP3, and WeatherTech Racing is leading the GTD PRO field.
