We’ve reached the halfway point of the 2021 Le Mans 24 Hours, and the field has completed the 12th hour of the race without much fanfare
A rarity in this year’s rendition of the race.
Track and air temperatures have dropped, the safety car has stayed parked, and yellow flags have remained in the pockets of the marshals.

The story is in GTE Pro where the top five runners have successfully clicked away another hour on the clock with no drama.
The No. 51 Ferrari is currently leading the race.

Nicky Catsburg in the No. 63 Corvette is within one second of Sam Bird’s No. 52 Ferrari that’s a true battle for the second position as those two cars are on the same stint cycle.

The No. 63 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R that Taylor shares with Nicky Catsburg and Antonio Garcia was ordered to serve a 10-second drive-through for a pit lane infringement, but remains the main threat to the two factory Ferraris that have been strong so far.

WeatherTech Racing’s Porsche 911 RSR-19 dropped out of contention when Cooper MacNeil crashed into the left-side barriers at the Ford Chicane midway through hour 11.

The two factory Porsche GT Team entries have not managed to consistently trouble the leading trio, but remain on course heading into the second half of the race.
