Sparks fly when JJ Lehto is behind the wheel. Pirro makes up time, battling Lehto for 2nd place. Angelelli passes first one, then the other DAMS Cadillac, trying to make up time lost earlier. Pirro got the bit between his teeth and battled back into 2nd place. Vipers descend the esses in tandem.
Corvettes do the same.
Marc Goossens at the wheel. He and his teammate Christophe Tinseau were having a trouble-free run, but were down on pace compared to the Audi, BMW and Panoz teams. McNish descends the esses, battle-scarred. Charly Lamm stares thoughtfully at his telemetry screens. The race hasn't gone well.
