Le Mans, France – The day has turned out to be overcast with little chance of rain. With just over 6 hours to go, Allan McNish must push the no. 1 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP hard, and try to unsettle Anthony Davidson. Allan McNish is currently a lap down to the Peugeot but they are near enough to each other on the track that it is possible for McNish to cause Davidson to make a mistake.
