Another setback for Audi R18 #7 during the Le Mans 24 Hours: Marcel Fässler successfully advanced to fifth position, but shortly thereafter he encountered a drivetrain problem and had to complete a very slow lap, losing about eleven minutes and dropped back to sixth position.
By halftime, Audi R18 #8 continued to circulate in fourth, with a two-lap deficit to the race leader. Oliver Jarvis took the car over from Loïc Duval on lap 172.
