The leading Toyotas are ~8 seconds off record (2010) race pace from memory. Goes to show how few slow zones there have been, with only one lasting for more than a couple of laps.

Yeah. Been close and there have been some incidents, but you wake up and bang two class leaders have problems.

JOTA now 1 lap up on second place!

In one hour they lost three laps v. the 2010 record pace. In that hour there was 48:58 of slow zone / yellow.
It might have been 4 laps lost against the record pace in that hour, but it is an integer game and they just snuck in a lap.

However it wasn't really on as in 2010 the pace was high in the second half of the race.

That hour and then these recent dramas means they are 5 laps down on 2010.

#56 now with heavy damage.

[J Jay]

Iribe bins it at the Daytona chicane. Hope he's alright, but that's the #56 done.

[Adam43]

3rd place in Am - lost it under braking into Daytona (!) chicane.

Hope the marshals are OK. Looks to be no problems.

Have we had any safety car periods so far?

That's a large slow zone, from Terte Rouge right down to the run before Mulsannes.
