Le Mans 24 Hours: Toyotas swap places, Corvette #63 hits trouble

The #7 Toyota GR010 HYBRID of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez led at one-third distance, 1.2s ahead of the #8 sister car of Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa.

The #7 car took the lead from #8 when Kobayashi undercut Hirakawa in the sixth hour during the round of pitstops after their opening stints. Kobayashi then had two wild moments at dusk, at the Ford chicane and the newly renamed Daytona chicane on the Mulsanne Straight, as he extended a 7s lead.
