Ferrari and Porsche were locked in a close battle after the opening hour of the Le Mans 24 Hours, with a 10-second penalty hanging over the leading #50 499P of Nicklas Nielsen.
Nielsen was running fractionally ahead of the #6 Porsche of Laurens Vanthoor after one hour of racing, but must serve a 10-second penalty at his next pitstop for an unsafe release. The three Ferrari LMH cars made blistering starts as the 92nd running of Le Mans 24 Hours got away at 4pm local time, with Nicklas in the #50 car jumping from fourth to slot into second.
