Yahoo Autos LM24, Hour 12: Ferrari in front; problems for Peugeot
A dejected Gustavo Menezes keyed up the radio to ask his team if they wanted him to remove the heavily damaged nose of his Peugeot 9X8 before limping back to the pits after a crash at the first chicane.
“I’m so sorry,” the American said while the field passed by him, as Peugeot joined Ferrari, Porsche, and Toyota as the next Hypercar manufacturer to encounter trouble under the cover of darkness. Menezes’ crash promoted Alex Lynn and Cadillac into third, joining Toyota’s No. 8 GR010 and Ferrari’s No. 51 499P at the fore of the Le Mans field with half of the race completed.
