17時間を経過直後、#37 BMW MOTORRAD WORLD ENDURANCE TEAM(BMW,BS)がガレージへ直接入るピットイン。チェック作業が行なわれ再スタートしたものの、転倒、すぐに再スタートを切って追い上げ体勢に入ったかと思われたが、再びピット、再スタート、白煙、ピット、再スタートとスティント中のエンジンストップなど大きなトラブルを抱えながら、再スタートを切って、一時3番手に下がったものの、再び2番手に順位を上げて走行中。トップとは4周差。
その間にトップは#1 YART Yamaha Official EWC Team(Yamaha,BS)へ。#1 YART(Ya,BS)は順調にルーティンピット作業をこなし、641周を走破し,残り6時間を迎えた。
#37 BMW(BMW,BS)にトラブルが発生し、2番手に上がっていた#12 Yoshimura SERT Motul(Suzuki,BS)は、再び3番手でトップと5周、2番手と1周差で走行している。
4番手だった#11 Kawasaki Webike Trickstar(Kawasaki,BS)は、残り7時間を切った頃にピットレーン近くでエンジンストップ、グレゴリー・ルブランがピットまで押して走り、ピット作業後に再スタート。残り6時間でトップと12周差、4番手。
#76 AutoRace Ube Racing Team(BMW,BS)は、628周、トップと13周差で6番手に着けている。 #5 F.C.C. TSR Honda France(Honda,BS)は2度目の不運な接触、緊急ピットイン後、再スタートして20番手で6時間を経過した。
冷え込んだ夜が終わり、日が昇り再び路面温度も上がり始め、多くのチームがトラブルを抱えながら走行を続けている模様。全4クラス60台で始まった決勝は、既に17台がリタイアする中、ブリヂストンサポートチームは全7台中6台が今も奮闘している。
Just after the 17-hour mark, the race-leading #37 BMW MOTORRAD WORLD ENDURANCE TEAM (BMW, BS) made a pit stop directly into the garage. After checks, the bike rejoined, but then suffered a crash. It restarted quickly and appeared to be mounting a fightback, only to pit again, restart, emit white smoke, pit once more, and restart—grappling with major issues including an engine cut during the stint. Despite briefly dropping to third, the team climbed back to second and is currently running four laps down on the leader.
During that period, the lead passed to the #1 YART Yamaha Official EWC Team (Yamaha, BS). #1 YART executed its routine pit work smoothly, reached 641 laps, and entered the final six hours. With #37 BMW’s troubles, #12 Yoshimura SERT Motul (Suzuki, BS) had risen to second but is now back in third, five laps off the leader and one lap behind second place.
Previously fourth, #11 Kawasaki Webike Trickstar (Kawasaki, BS) suffered an engine stop near the pit lane with just under seven hours remaining. Grégory Leblanc pushed the bike back to the pits, and after service they rejoined. With six hours to go, they are fourth, 12 laps down.
#76 AutoRace Ube Racing Team (BMW, BS) has completed 628 laps and sits sixth, 13 laps off the lead. #5 F.C.C. TSR Honda France (Honda, BS) was involved in a second unfortunate contact, made an emergency pit stop, and rejoined; with six hours remaining they are 20th.
The cold night has given way to sunrise, track temperatures are rising again, and many teams appear to be continuing despite various issues. Of the 60 starters across four classes, 17 have already retired, while six of the seven Bridgestone-supported teams are still battling on.
