Toyota controlled nearly all of the opening three hours of the Le Mans 24 Hours but it was the weather that dominated the race and was making the headlines.

The #20 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Timo Bernhard led Stephane Sarrazin in the #7 Toyota TS040 Hybrid and Benoit Treluyer in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro as the race reached one-eighth distance but it was under another full course safety car period following two spells of torrential downpours that caused chaos through the field.
