The No. 2 Audi driven by Tom Krsitensen passed the No. 7 Peugeot of Jacque Villeneuve when both cars pitted at the same time. The R10 TDI only took tires, while the 908 HDI FAP took on fuel and a drivers change. Since the pass the Audi has been lapping quicker then the Peugeot. Jacques Villeneuve said about the 908 HDI FAP, ““We had an overheating problem, so we had to get our braking done early and then ‘roll’ the car into the corners. We solved that, but then it started raining. Our car is difficult – you get the power down coming out of corners and it snaps around, which makes it harder to overtake the slower cars. Tom Kristensen was my team-mate in Formula Three, and even back then he was bloody quick in the wet!”

Currently the No. 2 Audi has a 16+ second lead over the Peugeot, however the Peugeot driven by Marc Gene has picked up speed and seems to be crawling back into contention, with a little over Eight hours to go.
