With six hours to go, the 2023 winners' number 51 factory 499P vehicle, driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi, and James Calado, was about six seconds ahead of the number 83 AF Corse entry, driven by Robert Kubica, Yifei Yi, and Philip Hanson.

In a heart-pounding turn of events at Le Mans, Antonio Giovinazzi continues to hold the lead with seven hours remaining in the intense endurance race. Driving the striking red No. 51 factory Ferrari 499P, Giovinazzi is fending off fierce competition from Robert Kubica in the yellow No. 83 AF Corse Ferrari.

As the clock struck hour 17, chaos erupted on the track as a staggering total of 13 cars were slapped with drive-through penalties for dangerously speeding through a yellow flag zone. The penalties sent shockwaves through the racing community, shaking up the leaderboards and adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the already thrilling competition.
