The BMW can't match the top three on pace and Frijns is falling away quite quickly. The M Hybrid was super-competitive in the happy hour conditions after the sun came up this morning, but once again it is not a match for Caddy and Toyota as the temperatures increase.

The #8 jumped the #7 during that pitstop cycle. It took three seconds less fuel that the sister car. That probably means it was short fuelled, though we can't be sure. Both Toyotas stopped early during the SC, but don't forget #8 had been in the pits only a handful of laps before.

The late, great Murray Walker's oft used line that 'Catching is one thing, passing quite another' could be prescient here. The Toyota looks blindingly quick but we know the cars ahead of it have an advantage in terms of acceleration and straightline speed.
