Most important news:

As expected both #Toyotas lead the race after midnight. #Night #session went in most #important phase which will last abot 3 hours before sunshine. Meanwhile the #8 Toyota TS050 #Hybrid has been #informed about a 60-second stop-and-go #penalty for speeding in the slow zone. About 0:29 mins after #midnight Sébastien Buemi (#8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid) has done the stop-and-go and now lies 02:16 behind the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid leading car.

Sad #news is that the #17 SMP #Racing BR Engineering BR1-AER has retired from the race due to accident on the #track during too fast going on #Porsche turns and went outta track.

#Stay tuned...less than 14.5 hours to go... ⏩Next #headlines will come #shortly ⚡🏪
