24h Le Mans hour 7: Newcomer René Rast in front
In the seventh hour of the Le Mans 24 Hours, the lead between the #17 Porsche and the two #7 and #9 Audi R18 e-tron quattro cars changed several times – each time depending on the refueling stops.
Marcel Fässler, Filipe Albuquerque and René Rast performed all the leading work for Audi Sport Team Joest between 21.00 and 22.00. 21.55 was a special moment for René Rast: in his first race in an LMP1 sports car at Le Mans, the German was listed in position one for the first time.
Positions after 7 hours:
1 Audi #9 2 Porsche #17 3 Audi #7 4 Porsche #18 5 Porsche #19 6 Audi #8
