16:04: Seven cars started, seven cars finished. Some had better luck than others - but brilliantly done, everyone.

16:03: The Manthey 1st Phorm #92 has done it! A second straight LMGT3 win for the team and for Porsche - and a phenomenal sixth in Le Mans GT competition for factory driver Richard Lietz.

16:02: Congratulations to the winning AF Ferrari #83 - as our #6 finishes second after a combative, spirited race!

15:59: The final lap of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is here. Everything is as it was.

15:52: Checking in on the LMGT3 class - Lietz is managings things in the #92 entry, the #90 is set to come home in sixth and the #85 is on course to finish 16th. With all the three Porsche Penske Motorsport cars running and the #99 Proton reeling off laps, too, we're closing in on a 100% finishing record here.

15:49: The timer is about to tick into single digits, which is crazy to think about. The leading #83 is proving too far ahead to chase, but Estre, Vanthoor and Campbell are set to give Porsche Penske Motorsport a valuable podium in second place.

15:40: Twenty minutes to go. Estre has an eight-second cushion in the fight for second, and the #92 Manthey 1Phorm is a minute and a half clear in LMGT3.

15:34: The #51 Ferrari pits from the lead and comes out seven seconds behind the #6 Porsche, now in second place and going to the end. In LMGT3, the #92 remains in control.

15:30: The #50 has been off in pursuit of the #6, which itself is now 10 seconds back from the race-leading #83 - as a result of the latter taking fresh tyres on the final pitstop. The #51 is currently leading but will have to stop before the race is over.

15:24: The #6 pits - same lap as the #50 - and rejoins effectively in second, aided by a pitstop three seconds faster than the pursuing car.

15:21: Estre in the #6 cycles to the lead here following a stop for the leading Ferrari, but will also stop shortly. He has been very aptly fighting off the #50 Ferrari.

15:14: The final Hypercar pitstops are coming right up, with the #6 soaking up pressure from the #50 Ferrari right now (while also keeping up the race leader's pace). A Porsche Penske Motorsport podium is looking very good here because the third Ferrari is really struggling further back on track.

15:09: A pitstop for the LMGT3-leading #92 Porsche, with Lietz around 50 seconds clear as it stands.

15:06: There are 36 seconds separating the #6 and the race-leading AF Corse Ferrari. That gap seems more or less stable, but there is a bit of a push coming from the third-placed Ferrari behind (while the other Ferrari is dropping back).

15:01: We are now into the final hour of this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans!

14:59: With just one hour to go, there's a Full Course Yellow after an issue for one of the United Autosports McLaren LMGT3 cars.

14:40: The #4 car has also made a pitstop from ninth place with 80 minutes left on the clock.

14:38: The #6 car has pitted from second behind race leader #83 and third-placed #50. The #51 takes the lead of the race.

14:14: With just over 100 minutes remaining, the #6 car is just 18 seconds behind the leading #83 Ferrari.

13:55: With just over two hours to go, there's been a flurry of stops - the leading #83 Ferrari, the #50 Ferrari and the #6 Porsche have all stopped from the top four.

13:50: That was a lovely move from Matt Campbell for third! Darts past the #51 Ferrari for third place on the straight.

13:32: The #5 car has made another stop with 2.5 hours left of the race. It was running in seventh. Michael Christensen takes over from Julien Andlauer.

13:26: Richard Lietz has got a brilliant lead at the front of the LMGT3 field in the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car. The #90 car is in sixth, with the #85 Iron Dames entry running 16th.

13:11: The #6 car has made another pitstop - slightly slow due to a wheel gun issue - and heads back out in fourth, this time with Campbell driving on a fresh set of tyres. Two of the three Ferraris ahead also stopped, but just took fuel.

13:00: A pitstop for the #90 Manthey, which continues to run in sixth place with Klaus Bachler. It's a lap back from the LMGT3 leader but a lap ahead of the seventh-placed car.

12:55: The three cars fighting it out for second (that group includes the #6, and has just had an overtake between the Ferraris) is collectively bearing down on the race leader here. Still another 16 seconds to make up for Vanthoor, but a lot of time to do it in.

12:49: The second and third Ferrari are beginning to fight through traffic ahead of the #6, with both still right in Vanthoor's sights. It feels like an end-of-race dash - but there's still three hours left. Further back, Andlauer has pitted the #5 and returned to the track in eighth.

12:40: Just over three hours to go, the leading cars are back on even ground in terms of pitstops. The #6 is trailing the lead Ferrari by 19 seconds, and the other two Ferraris by three and 1.5 seconds respectively. Game on.

12:35: A particularly quick pitstop for the #6 means that the third of the Ferraris is in range for Vanthoor (and one of the other two ahead still needs to make a pitstop pretty soon).

12:27: The LMP2 car in the gravel has required a slow zone for extrication, with three of the four leading cars - including the #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport driven by Vanthoor - taking the opportunity to pit, especailly as the slow zone was very close to the pitlane. The #6 remains in fourth, but its chances of a podium may have received a boost.

12:20: Tandy has taken over from Nasr in the #4. Yellow flags are out for a gravel-stranded LMP2 car.

12:15: The #92 is ticking off the laps as it needs to, with the gap still at nearly a minute over the rival Ferrari. That car currently has its Platinum driver in it, but Pera is holding his own.

12:05: A driver swap in the #5 car, Andlauer in for Jaminet, and the latter rejoins the race in ninth place.

11:59: "Where we keep the pressure, they keep doing mistakes," Kévin Estre, who has handed the #6 over to Laurens Vanthoor, tells the WEC broadcast. "That's the only thing we can do - just keeping the pressure on them. The car feels good. I hope that we can catch a podium, a win would be great but I think [Ferrari] are a bit too strong today." Four hours to go.

11:55: The #6 puits and remains fourth behind the three Ferraris. Further back, the #5 and the #4 gain a position each due to a left front failure on one of the Toyotas.

11:44: Next set of Hypercar pitstops kicking off around laps 315-316. The #6 has cycled into second as it stands.

11:40: The #92 has been to the pits, as has its closest rival Ferrari - a minute between the two cars right now in the fight for LMGT3 glory.

11:31: The #4 has just been to the pits, as it continues to run a bit off-sequence - currently driven by Nasr.

11:22: The #5 is first of those a lap down after its recent pitstop, while the #4 continues to run in P12. Out front the status quo remains for now - likewise in LMGT3, where the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car is nursing a 53-second lead.

11:10: Drama for the race-leading Ferrari, which is no longer race-leading as it's spun on pitlane entry - with the FCY just cleared. The #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport has pitted also, and has been brought much closer to that particular Ferrari now.

11:02: The Hypercar pit cycle is happening here, so the #6 has cycled up to second again - but this has now been interrupted by a full course yellow for an incident involving the LMGT3 Lexus.

10:54: In LMGT3, the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car has pitted from the lead.

10:45: “When the track temperatures dropped, we were not only able to close the gap to the leaders with the number 6 car, but even took the lead again,” explains Jonathan Diuguid, Managing Director Porsche Penske Motorsport. "However, our lead was wiped out by a safety car period. The Ferrari have been extremely strong since the sun came up. We can't keep up with them at the moment. I hope that will change again during the course of the day.”

10:44: Here's the latest from Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh: “We were in the lead from time to time, but the Ferrari are making life really difficult for us. We had to take a few penalties. That shouldn't happen to us from now on. I'm curious to see how the race will develop over the next few hours.”

10:38: In the #5 car, Mathieu Jaminet is fighting the #20 BMW for 10th place, with the #4 car directly behind.

10:28: The #6 car has pitted - Matt is out, Kevin is in, and the car takes fuel and fresh tyres.

10:20: The #6 is back out front as the Ferraris stop.

10:00: 6 hours to go! We're now heading into the 19th hour of racing.

09:44: The #6 car is eight seconds behind the #50 Ferrari ahead, which is third, and 54 seconds behind the leading #51 Ferrari.

09:41: The #5 car has made a stop and Mathieu is now at the wheel. He exits into 10th. The #6 has stopped from the lead too for fuel and returns on track in fourth.

09:40: With another two Ferrari pitstops, the #6 takes the lead

09:32: The #6 car is now third, thanks to a pitstop for the #50 Ferrari ahead. Behind, the #5 car is in seventh and the #4 car runs 12th.

09:17: FCY is lifted - thanks to the marshals for the speedy job there!

09:15: Another Full Course Yellow, this time for a piece of debris on track.

09:13: The #4 car has just stopped from 12th, with Nick Tandy jumping out for a well-earned rest and Pascal Wehrlein taking the wheel.

09:05: The #6 car is just over a minute behind the leader in fourth, with Ferrari sitting in 1-2-3.

08:59: The FCY has just been lifted - and the race has entered its final seven hours. #6 still firmly in that podium hunt - or more.

08:52: Campbell has to yield and accept fourth place for now, given the pitstop was longer with the driver change and he came out on cold tyres right ahead of the third Ferrari. An Alpine off at Mulsanne triggers a full course yellow.

08:49: The #6 pits from second. It's had to sacrifice some of its strategy offset earlier when the slow zone came out and the stop was too valuable not to take. Campbell - replacing Vanthoor - brings the car back out of the pits in third. The #5 is running eighth after its stop, and the #4 continues to run off-sequence extending stints.

08:39: Pera has now extended the #92's lead to 50 seconds again, as if the drive-through never really happened. It's now Hartog in the #90 (seventh place) and Martin in the #85 (18th place).

08:37: Another round of Hypercar stops coming up, with the #99 Proton car executing a driver change - Varrone in for Jani.

08:28: Some of the best laptimes of the race are coming in here, in these cool morning conditions (17.3°C air temperature and much-improved visibility). The #6 remains 40 seconds back from the Hypercar leader, the #92 is 40 seconds clear as the LMGT3 leader.

08:18: There were a lot of cars penalised for yellow flag infringements, including the #90 Manthey and the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm. But the #92 still has a healthy amount of time in hand - half a minute, and with Pera extending that lead - over the chasing Ferrari.

08:11: The race-leading Ferraris serve their drive-throughs. Vanthoor in the #6 is now 40s back from the leader and 30s back from the second car.

08:07: The answer to that previous question is 'yes' - the slow zone is still active as Vanthoor enters the pits, and still active when he comes back out. He has kept third place in doing so - and now the race goes green again!

08:04: A start-of-lap slow zone for a Cadillac parked coming up to the Dunlop arch. The #5 is among those taking the opportunity to pit here - but will it remain for the #6 to benefit as well?

08:00: We're officially into the final third of the race. And the first- and second-placed Ferraris both have drive-throughs here for yellow flag breaches.

07:56: Pit window in Hypercar again, with the #99 - as has become customary - being thew first to come in among our four cars. Jani stays in for another stint.

07:49: Lietz continues to extend the LMGT3 lead for the #92 car. The #90, now driven by Bachler, has been slowly but surely gaining ground during the race and is up to sixth, while the #85 Iron Dames car has rejoined the contest after undergoing some troubleshooting.

07:32: Estre brings the #6 in and climbs out, with Vanthoor getting in. He briefly pops up in fifth on the timing screens, but is overtaken by a couple of cars while the tyres are still cold.

07:19: The #6 is up to third during this pit cycle - and both cars ahead are currently under investigation over potential yellow flag infringements, which we'll keep you updated on. In LMGT3, the #92 just pitted and has come out with a 30-second lead.

07:12: The latest round of Hypercar pitstops is here - which has now promoted Andlauer in the #5 to eighth place.

07:04: Estre in the #6 is currently running 83s back from the lead, albeit remains on an offset strategy in terms of pit timing. We're on lap 242 of the eventm, yet there's still more than a third to go - so every chance for the picture to change in the coming hours.

06:56: The #85 contunues to catch bad breaks - the car is now stopped coming out of Mulsanne to troubleshoot the car being stuck in sixth gear. Now Frey gets it going again after conversation with the team.

06:54 The #92 has stretched its LMGT3 class lead to 13 seconds here - with the third-placed car a minute back, so this is currently a straight fight between the #92 and the #21 Ferrari.

06:48: Pitstops for the #5 and then the #6 a lap later. The #6 comes out in a comfortable fifth - while the #5 is running 11th and the #4 is half a minute back in 12th.

06:43: Lietz hails the full course yellow restart to pounce on the Ferrari and restore the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm to the LMGT3 lead.

06:41: The #85 looks intact but is unfortunately having to be tractor-lifted from the gravel trap. But it's now heading back to the pits, and full course yellow is lifted.

06:36: Oh no! The #85 Iron Dames car is in the gravel trap in the second Mulsanne chicane - and replays show it was helped into the gravel trap, very unceremoniously, by the #87 Lexus. Full course yellow.

06:33: The #6 cycles to third place during this current pitstop phase, 11 seconds back from the leading Ferrari.

06:25: Lietz has now caught the LMGT3-leading Ferrari, which is soaking up the pressure for now. The #6 remains in sixth place in Hypercar.

06:11: A pitstop for the #85 Iron Dames Manthey car, last-second call-up Bovy handing over to Frey. And there was also then a pitstop for the #4 after a long stint. The #99 Proton Competition car has had a bit of a setback in being punted into the Mulsanne gravel by the #311 Cadillac - but is now carrying on.

06:08: The #92, now driven by Lietz, has the LMGT3 lead firmly in its sights again. Lietz is three seconds back from the class-leading Ferrari and closing, closing, closing.

06:01: Single-digit hours left in this one! The #6 car pits from the lead for tyres and fuel, and a driver change - Estre takes over the entry, emerging on track in fifth, though then also having to let a Cadillac through while Estre works the tyres up to temperature.

05:55: The slow zone is cleared now - somewhat unluckily for the #6, that will have to pit from the lead soon but is currently fending off the AF Corse Ferrari for the lead.

05:49: The #6 is into the lead as this slow zone-affected pitstop phase continues. Over in LMGT3, the #92 pitted during slow zone conditions, Hardwick handing over to Lietz - while the #85 sits fifth and the #90 is eighth.

05:40: Yellow flags - no, make that a slow zone - for an LMP2 car losing a wheel. It's as it was in Hypercar, while in LMGT3 the #92 car is now third - but Hardwick is holding his own against the pro drivers in the other cars currently.

05:27: Strong laptimes - sub-3m30s - being set by the #4 and the #5 right now as they bid to fight their way back into contention following drive-throughs during the night hours for slow zone infringements. Further ahead Campbell in the #6 is continuing to chase after the Ferrari.

05:21: Wehrlein has brought the #4 in and handed over to Nasr. The car continues in 12th place.

05:16: Campbell is forced to yield to the third Ferrari at the first the Mulsanne chicane. He tries to strike back at the second one and almost gets the move done, but cuts the corner and wisely gives the place back. Still well within striking distance, though.

05:13: Pitstops, pitstops, pitstops. A quick ione for Campbell in the #6, and he has come out third, behind two Ferraris and just ahead of another Ferrari. The #6 had been running longer fuel stints than its rivals through much of the race.

05:07: A rundown of who's driving which car right now ahead of the upcoming pit cycle.

#5 Jaminet #4 Wehrlein #6 Campbell #99 Pino #85 Bovy #90 Au #92 Hardwick

05:00: And wir sind zurück. The racing rages on in nighttime, with all seven of our cars still in the conversation - as the #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport heads up the Hypercar challenge in (fittingly enough) sixth and the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm is leading in LMGT3.

01:00: That's all from us for this evening! We'll be back at 05:00 CEST with more live updates from this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.

00:55: The #92 car with Richard Lietz leads LMGT3 by around 11 seconds from the #46 BMW.

00:51: #6 comes in again, this time for four new tyres.

00:43: Jonathan Diuguid, Managing Director Porsche Penske Motorsport, says: “We did a great job of leading the race with two of our WEC cars. We had a problem with the tyres on the number 4 car, which we had to change early. Unfortunately, the number 5 sister car received a drive-through penalty after four hours. That set us back a bit, but there’s still a long way to go in the race.”

00:40: Here's the latest from Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh: “The start went really well. All three Porsches made up positions. We were able to drive at the front initially, but now the situation has changed. Ferrari is very fast during the evening and is now setting the pace. But we still have 20 hours to go. I am convinced that we will have an intense battle. Our 963 are running cleanly and without any worries.”

00:35: The #6 car is in from the lead again, and returns to the track in third place with Kévin still at the wheel.

00:22: A fun fact for the coming laps: On lap 146, the Porsche 963 model will have accumulated 500,000 kms across all works and customer cars. That's the distance from Earth to the Moon, and half way back!

00:13: Those fireworks were pretty brilliant! Almost as good as the on-track action with just under 16 hours to go.

23:52: The #6 stopped again and has returned on track to third place.

23:35: Julien Andlauer has made the most overtakes of any driver so far in this race with 294 overtakes!

23:22: The #6 is up to third after passing the #50 Ferrari, which had a penalty. Great work from the team! The #4 and #5 cars are running sixth and seventh.

23:08: In LMGT3, all three Porsche are continuing to have a good race. The #92 is the highest runner, second in class.

23:02: Campbell stops from the lead and Estre takes back over at the wheel of the #6 car heading into the night. They come back out in fourth.

22:55: The #6 has again inherited the lead as those ahead make pitstops.

22:48: The #4 Porsche is now running directly behind the sister #6 car in fifth place.

22:40: All four of the Porsche 963 are now inside the top 10, with the #6 running highest in fourth.

22:14: Campbell has pitted from the lead in the #6 car. He's come back out in fourth place.

22:03: Andlauer has taken back over the wheel of the #5 car from Christensen and Nasr is back at the wheel of the #4 after Wehrlein stepped out.

22:00: The #5 and the #99 make their eighth planned stops of the race here, and the #4 follows suit a lap later. The #6, which tends to stop later, has moved up to third for the time being.

21:51: The #4 in Wehrlein's hands is going nicely in sixth, having soaked up and rebuffed the pressure from multiple Cadillacs behind. All three Porsche Penske Motorsport cars are in the top eight right now, and the #99 Proton is holding its own in 10th.

21:42: A very short full course yellow then. The #92 has had a pitstop for a driver change - from Pera to Hardwick - but since rejoining it's already cycled back to second place, 10 seconds off the lead. Looking good!

21:39: Full course yellow for the #95 McLaren LMGT3 car pulling over on the Mulsanne straight. Campbell in the #4 had been gaining a little on the leading Ferraris.

21:32: Pera continues to build that class lead for the #92, being one of the very few LMGT3 drivers in the sub-4m00s laptime range right now.

21:28: Campbell brings in the #6 for a stop and rejoins the race in fourth place, 23 seconds off the lead. Unlucky for Christensen further back - he gets caught out coming into the end-of-lap chicane while in pursuit of the Cadillac, so ends up vulnerable to a couple of rival cars behind.

21:23: The #6 leads the race - it's on strategy, but it's moved ahead of the three Ferraris by carrying on with this stint. Further back, the #5 in Christensen's hands is attacking the 11th-placed Cadillac.

21:12: The latest round of Hypercar pitstops is occurring here, and the #6 is back into podium positions as it waits to make its stop. The #5 and the #99 have come in onm lap 85.

21:04: The #92 car, now driven by Riccardo Pera, has cycled into the LMGT3 lead here - and is setting class-leading laptimes.

21:00: At the end of hour five, the top running Porsche is the #6 car in fifth. The sister #4 car is ninth, with the #5 just outside the top ten in P11.

20:45: The #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car is up to second, while the #85 Iron Dames car is running seventh, as the pair are on alternate fuel strategies. The #90 Manthey entry is in P11.

20:40: The #6 has now made a pitstop, with Laurens hopping out the car and Matt Campbell jumping in. It comes out in sixth place before losing a place while warming up his tyres.

20:36: Vanthoor is back to the top of the field in the #6 car. The #4 made a stop and is now 11th.

20:32: The #6 has been promoted to second by a stop ahead, with the #4 in third driven by Pascal Wehrlein. He's just put in his fastest lap of the race so far!

20:27: Up front, the #6 car is running in third as the top Porsche.

20:23: The #85 Iron Dames crew are doing a great job and have cycled to the front of the LMGT3 field. The #92 is close behind in eighth, with the #90 in P15.

20:11: Michael Christensen is making progress in the #5 car and is now up to P14 on fresh tyres after serving the drive-through penalty.

20:03: Unfortunately, the #6 has fallen behind the Ferraris and is now running in P4.

19:56: A big battle for the #6 with the #83 and #51 Ferraris in close pursuit - they went three wide into Indianapolis, but the #6 stays ahead.

19:54: The #6 passed the #83 in the pits! One second can make a big difference.

19:51: The #4 car has also stopped for a driver change - Nick Tandy gets out and Pascal Wehrlein gets in. The #6 stopped but Laurens Vanthoor stayed at the wheel.

19:46: The #5 Porsche, which was running third, has received a drive-through penalty for not respecting slow zone procedures. It made a stop where Michael Christensen took the wheel from Mathieu Jaminet.

19:42: The leading #50 Ferrari has pitted, handing the #6 Porsche the lead.

19:27: Full course yellow for debris on track after an incident in the LMP2 class.

19:13: Mathieu Jaminet in the #5 car is having a fantastic battle for third with the #51 Ferrari.

19:11: Little update from the LMGT3 class: The #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car is running third - in the podium places. The Iron Dames #85 is up inside the top 10, with the #90 car immediately behind it.

18:57: Pitstop for the #5 and then, a lap later, the #4. The #6 remains out there in the lead, one of just three cars to go beyond lap 49 on three stops.

18:49: The #6 hits the front - and the #5 reclaims second place - as the Ferrari pits at the end of lap 47.

18:47: The fourth round of pitstops is kicking off in LMGT3, and this includes a driver change in the #92 Manthey 1st Phorm - Lietz in for Hardwick.

18:43: Vanthoor is up to second in the #6, having used some LMGT3 traffic to go around the outside of the boxed-in #5 at the Porsche curves.

18:37: The #90 Manthey car is making some moves in the LMGT3 class, with Hartog having taken over from Au and worked his way up to 15th and counting.

18:34: A spirited defence by Jaminet through the two Mulsanne straight chicanes, but finally the #5 has to yield to the Ferrari - which is on fresh tyres, unlike the #5, so some strategy playing out here. The #6 is right with them.

18:30: The #5 has a fight on its hands, with both the Ferrari and the #6 closing in in recent laps. Those three cars have left the rest of the field well behind for now.

18:23: The #92 Manthey 1st Phorm car in Hardwick's hands has consolidated seventh place in LMGT3 as it stands. The #85 Iron Dames entry is also in the mix, with Bovy running 11th.

18:21: As promised, a pitstop for the stint-extending Peugeot finally releases the #5 back into the lead. The #6 has reclaimed third place and has the second-placed Ferrari in its sights.

18:15: Driver change, too, for the #6, Vanthoor in for Estre after the latter's early charge. The lead entry, the #5, has cycled back into third and should be leading again shortly.

18:09: Andlauer brings the #5 car in and gets out after over two hours, almost entirely spent in the lead. He hands over to Jaminet - who rejoins the track in a very healthy fifth.

18:03: As the race enters its third 'wave' of pitstops, the #5 continues to pace itself in the lead. A pitstop for the second-place Ferrari restores a Porsche Penske Motorsport 1-2.

17:54: Working his way through the order, Tandy overtakes Jani in the #99 Proton - then, almost immediately, clears a Toyota as well. He's up to 13th.

17:46: The pursuers briefly get a bit closer to the #5 after a difficult lap in traffic, but there's still a six-second cushion and now Andlauer is in clean air. The #6 has settled into third.

17:41: The lead Porsche in LMGT3 right now is the #92, still in the hands of starting driver Ryan Hardwick, running eighth in class in the 24-car class.

17:34: As the pit sequence concludes, it's back to the lead for #5, with Andlauer continuing behind the wheel, currently eight seconds clear.

17:30: What an opening hour and a half from Estre this has been - the #6 is back behind the #5 after its second stop, but it has leapfrogged two rival cars during this pit sequence, though the Ferrari gets back ahead while Estre warms his tyres. In the #4, Nasr has handed the car over to Tandy.
