The No.51 has rejoined in the lead after that stop and is about 50s up the road from the No.6 Porsche in second. Everything going the way of the No.51 right now.

2025 24 Hours of Le Mans as it happened
Live updates from the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans begins at 4pm CET on Saturday 14 June.
The showpiece event of the entire endurance racing year, the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans is the 93rd edition of the iconic event held at the Circuit de la Sarthe in mid-June.
Cadillac will be chasing an historic first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, after it locked out the front row for a maiden pole earlier this week in Hyperpole.
The Jota-run Cadillac's of the No.12 and No.38 cars will lead the field at the start of the race on Saturday and could become the first American manufacturer to win outright at Le Mans since Ford in 1969.
Cadillac - who has four cars on the grid in Hypercar - will face stiff opposition, however, with six manufacturers expected to be in the mix for victory over the next 24 hours.
Last year's winners Ferrari struggled in qualifying, with the 2024 victor No.50 car only seventh, while the No.51 car and the No.83 AF Corse entry 11th and 13th on the grid.
Porsche will be aiming for a 20th victory at Le Mans and the first for Roger Penske, with the Penske Motorsport-run 963s starting from third, fifth and last in class. The No.6 entry was disqualified from Wednesday's qualifying results due to a weight limit infringement.
Toyota goes for a sixth victory at Le Mans on the 40th anniversary of its first visit to the French enduro, though it will do so from far down the grid, in 10th and 16th.
Other marques looking to push themselves into victory contention are BMW and Alpine, while returning Aston Martin and the Peugeot entries look set for a tough race.
Three classes will be on track, with the LMP2 field led off the line by the No.29 TDS Racing entry, while LMGT3 is headed by the No.27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin.
The race runs from 4pm CET Saturday 14 June to 4pm CET on Sunday 15 June, and is a double points round in the World Endurance Championship.

Penalty - No.38 Cadillac
Another penalty for the No.38 Jota Cadillac. This time it's a driver-though for cutting the white line at pit-entry. That car is 11th right now.
10:06
Green flag
The green flag is back out.
10:06
The No.51 has pitted from the lead under the FCY.
10:04
Full Course Yellow
The Full Course Yellow is now out.
The No.78 speared off at the Porsche Curves and clattered left-hand side into the barrier.
10:03
It's not a puncture - that's had a crash. The left side is wrecked. Car being wheeled back into the garage.
10:02
The No.78 Akkodis Lexus is touring back to pits with a left rear blowout.
10:01
The No.83 has come in.
10:00
2025 24 Hours of Le Mans - Hour 20
Five hours to go and the No.51 continues to lead, but it's gap is over 20 seconds now over the No.83.
09:58
The No.50 Ferrari has pitted from third to take on some fuel.
09:53
Unsurprisingly, the No.83 Jota Cadillac is under investigation for crossing the white line at pit-entry.
09:53
We're now at that point where everything has just calmed down a little. Just over five hours to go, not long but still so long for teams and drivers.
But something tells me as the hours tick away we'll be seeing some drama erupt again.

09:44
Replay of the No.38 pit entry showed Sebastien Bourdais was coming in, but then came back out of the white line, before bouncing over the kerbs to get back in.
Stewards will probably look unfavourably on that.
09:43
Green flag
The FCY has been withdrawn. No obvious reason, likely just for some debris.
09:42
The No.38 Jota Cadillac has come into the pits but made a hash of the entry. Looks like it was maybe a late call because of the FCY.
09:41
Full Course Yellow
The Full Course Yellow is out.
09:37
The No.007 Aston is being asked to avoid the debris off line as it is "hoovering up marbles" and causing heat issues.
09:28
Pitstop cycle done and the No.51 Ferrari leads the No.83 by 15.7s, while the No.50 is 20s clear of the No.6.
No.43 still leads in LMP2, while the No.92 Manthey Porsche remains the leader in LMGT3.
09:27
Will Stevens, No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R:
"We're still competitive, we're doing fast laps but where we are fastest is in the high speed sections of the track and when you're pushing that hard it takes a toll on the tires. So it's about managing this as best we can. Overall, we're still in the fight, still pushing hard. Let's see what we can do."
The No.12 is sixth at the moment with Alex Lynn behind the wheel.
09:26
The No.6 car is in the pits. Matt Campbell comes out, Kevin Estre comes in. Fuel and fresh tyres go onto that 963.
Estre put in a good stint late last night to get that No.6 into a strong position, so let's see what this can do for Porsche's hopes today.
09:22
The No.6 Porsche now leads on lap 295. The No.51 Ferrari rejoins in second.
09:21
The No.51 is in from the lead. Fuel has gone in, new tyres are going on and Alessandro Pier Guidi is taking over from Antonio Giovinazzi.
