The seemingly infallible No. 7 Toyota Gazoo Racing machine finally saw disaster just after the 12-hour mark. The machine befell turbo problems that saw repairs that lasted just under an hour. The No. 8 held steady on the track, taking up the lead, but the damage to one teammate never bodes well for another.

The Nos. 29 and 65 collided in the first serious contact of the race, bringing out a local yellow. Nyck de Vries in in the Racing Team Nederland LMP2 ultimately appeared to be racing a GTE Pro car a little too hard. Both cars were able to make it back to the pits to take repairs, but only after de Vries almost beached himself in the gravel trap.

In an interesting change of pace, the No. 37 Jackie Chan DC Racing machine was disqualified for illegal repairs. At Le Mans, crew members are not allowed to physically assist a driver in fixing a car that has stopped on-track. They are allowed to offer verbal instructions only. However, a crew member appeared to meet Gabriel Aubry a component that was necessary to repair the machine—a fact that is firmly now allowed.
