Le Mans 24 Hours: Cadillac leads at 20 hours with Toyota in close attendance

With four hours remaining, the No.12 Cadillac, with Norman Nato at the wheel, holds a slim lead over the chasing Toyotas.

After being handed a drive-through penalty for a slow zone violation, the No.12 car was running third behind the No.8 Toyota and No.20 BMW.

With just under six hours to go, the No.91 Porsche crashed out, bringing out the safety car.

Once the leading Hypercars pitted, the No.12 Cadillac inherited second but, come the restart, was unable to keep pace with the Leading BMW of Robin Frijns.

A successful overcut allowed Cadillac to inherit the lead, while both Toyotas overhauled the BMW to take second and third.

The leading No.8 car, driven by Ryo Hirakawa, is currently running in second, less than a second off the lead despite significant brake issues, while the No.7 car has recovered from an early puncture to pressure the leading duo. 

Elsewhere, the No.17 Genesis, which had run largely without incident, damaged a wheel after running over a kerb in the first sector and was forced to retire.

The sister No.19 car is currently running 14th, while the No.83 AF Corse Ferrari has completed an impressive recovery to sixth.

Julien Andlauer leads LMP2 by 3.3s from Reshad de Gerus, while an impressive night stint has allowed the No.33 Corvette to consolidate its lead in LMGT3.

With just over four hours remaining, the No.87 Lexus and No.27 Aston Martin jostled for fifth place, with the latter currently in possession.
