According to the radio chatter, it was a turbo issue that dropped the #2 Audi back as well.
17:36 later and the #1 Audi is back out in 3rd... #20 Porsche still being steadily caught by the #2 Audi.
#20 Porsche just told to be careful with the clutch..
Wow, I go to sleep and everything changes massively. Can Porsche win on their return?
Also, in GTE Astons apparently dropped down the other due to problems in their power steering system. Looks like the #51 AF Corse Ferrari will win.
To hard to call at the moment, #2 is still catching hard.
Audi #2 stops in boxes as it was about to catch Porsche #20.
It's going to be a nail biting finish!
Apparently all will be down to the pit stop strategy, Porsche can do 14 lap-stints, but Audi can only manage 12-13-lap stints.
#20 Porsche pits early, Webber slots in. #2 Audi passes into the lead.. but will need to stop again.
New tyres and the fastest driver in the 919 #20. To try and defend themselves from the chasing #2 Audi.
Audi #2 in the lead after the pit stop. Propsect looks grim for the #20 Porsche.
#2 pits, only fuel stop - no stop, no new tyres. Interesting! Seems they'd need at least another tyre change before the end, but this way #2 is out in front of #20. Definitely seems like #20 is nursing problems, given the speed that #14 passed it too.
The vibration which they got yesterday is apparently costing the #20 three seconds per lap.
#20 is slow! Seems like something's finally gone.. apparently the early pit stop before was caused by a slow deflation.
Engine problems..
The Porsche #20 is broken!
The luck of the Webber strikes again...
High stands, nose is off.. this will take a while.
