The lead Audi predictably drones on 3 laps ahead of the Pescarolo. Pescarolo simply cannot match the oil burner for speed and are just hanging in there hoping for a bit of luck.
The torque of the Audi means that overtaking is not a serious exercise in slipstreaming...
The GT1 battle is a little more exciting with the lead Aston nearly a lap of the Corvette.
Racecar's Team Modena is in 9th with Piquet at the wheel - closing on the Alphand Corvette.
