Porsche are on the radio to Lieb explaining that they need some long stints if they want to win this thing. Expect to see plenty for lift-and-coast from the #2.
Here's a look at Tommy Milner's crash from earlier.
Looks like the #5 Toyota has re-emerged well clear of the Porsche. So the order is 5-2-6 at the front.
Pit Stop
Anthony Davidson brings the leading Toyota in for a quick service.
Recovery continues on the Patterson Corvette.
Want highlights? We've got you covered.
Yellow Flag
Slow zone down at the first chicane for Patterson's Corvette.
Leading positions after 20 Hours:
1) #5 Toyota2) #2 Porsche
3) #6 Toyota
4) #8 Audi
5) #7 Audi
LMP2:
1) #36 Alpine (P6 overall)2) #26 Oreca
3) #37 BR01
GTE Pro:
1) #68 Ford2) #82 Ferrari
3) #69 Ford
GTE Am:
1) #62 Ferrari2) #83 Ferrari
3) #88 Porsche
Lieb stays in the Porsche, and it looks like they're doing for four stints on those tyres.
Pit Stop
The #2 dives into the pits from second, and the #6 Toyota does likewise.
Crash
Mark Patterson has nosed his Corvette into the wall.
The Porsche crew look like they're getting ready for a stop. #2 could well be on its way in.
"No stress Marc, no stress. Still four hours to go" is the radio message to Lieb following the change at the front.
We have another outright lead change! Davidson sweeps past Marc Lieb at the front.
Merhi is at it again - the #44 car is being investigated for abusing track limits, barely a couple of hours after the last time.
Pit Stop
Stevens, Petrov, Leventis all in and out of the pits - that's P2, P3 and P4 in LMP2.
Davidson, meanwhile, it closing up on outright leader Lieb. Gap just over two seconds.
It does have 11 laps up its sleeve over its sister car, so retaining fourth isn't out of the question if it's a quick enough fix.
Mechanical problem
The #8 Audi has been pushed back in the garage and mechanics are swarming around it.
The top three overall were all lapping in the 3m24s last time round, so that decision to keep the tyres on for the #2 Porsche may have been a very good move.
The #8 Audi has slowed. Looks like the car's very, very, very slim chances of victory are over.
Malucelli still clinging on in the battle for GTE Pro honours, less than two seconds behind Hand's Ford.
At the front, the gap is a pretty stable three and a half seconds. Lieb (#2 Porsche) still leads Davidson (#5 Toyota).
Pit Stop
Meanwhile, Menezes has been in and out of the pits in the LMP2 class-leading car.
Textbook pass by Hand along the Mulsanne, Ford leads!
The pair are nose-to-tail now!
Hand has Malucelli's GTE Pro lead down to three seconds. Ferrari v Ford rages on.
Worth mentioning that the #2 Porsche has chosen to triple-stint the tyres for the first time this race, a strategic gamble to clear the Toyotas.
But will it pay off?
But will it pay off?
Whereas Shaitar was no match for Kane earlier, fair to say that Leventis - improved as he may be - is not in the same league as former F1 star Petrov.
Change of position in LMP2, Petrov in the #37 has cleared Leventis in the #42.
So Lieb now leads from Davidson, with Kobayashi around 20 seconds back.
The #2 Porsche has jumped both the Toyotas! Lieb stays in the car, and now leads Davidson by six seconds.
Pit Stop
And the third-placed #2 Porsche follows the leading Toyota in.
Pit Stop
The outright leader is now in the pits.
Still all to play for in GTE Pro, six seconds split Malucelli and Hand at the moment.
GTE Am is looking more fixed, the #62 Scuderia Corsa car - Townsend Bell at the wheel - a lap clear of the opposition.
GTE Am is looking more fixed, the #62 Scuderia Corsa car - Townsend Bell at the wheel - a lap clear of the opposition.
Anthony Davidson suiting up to jump into the leading #5 Toyota.
Pit Stop
The #6 Toyota now pits from second place. Mike Conway is out of the car, Kobayashi is in.
Pit Stop
The #7 Audi is in the lane as well.
Conway has been called into the pits.
