BMW held the overall lead in the Le Mans 24 Hours at the start of the 19th hour, as a crash for a Porsche GT3 car brought out the safety car.
Suffering from a likely steering wheel issue, reigning DTM champion Ayhancan Guven went straight into the barriers at the exit of the first Mulsanne chicane as he struggled to turn the car. The #91 Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 suffered terminal damage as it bounced back on track after impact, with Guven stepping out of the car to retire from the race.
