Update: From Matthew Marsh: Pitstop because engine seems to be down one cylinder. Tim from AER changing all the plugs and the coil. The rear bodywork has some damage (cause unknown) so has been changed. Front body changed because headlight failed. This is low downforce spec so Gavin Wills the engineer has also reduced rear wing in an effort to rebalance.
Update: Now running in 33rd place on 111 laps. Safety Car deployed with just over half an hour to go. At the front Christian Klien (Peugeot) is being hotly pursued by Christophe Tinseau(Pescarolo) on 136 laps.
Final: Car #39 Lola-Mazda finished the race in an unofficial 33rd position, but was stranded on circuit at the end with a broken gearbox. Nicolas Minassian/Simon Pagenaud/Christian Klein (Peugeot Hdi-Fap) won the race overall.
