In what has become a stunning Porsche battle for the LM GT title at the 24 Heures Du Mans, Petersen Motorsports/ White Lightning Racing currently sits in third, two laps out of the class lead despite dominating the opening half of 💖the race.

The early domination of the No. 90 Westward Ho Casino/ MMPIE/ PAWS/ mail2web.com/ Michelin Porsche 911 GT3 RSR came to an end when Jorg Bꦍergmeister suffered a broken transmission shifter cable in the tenth hour. The repairs set the team back two laps and out of the lead.

A second repair job for the throttle cable cost the team additional l✃aps. Drivers Sascha Maassen, Bergmeister and Patrick Long are fighting to reclaim the top-spot that was un-attestable to others in the early going of the 72nd Annual 24 Heures Du Mans.

Maassen earned the all-time GT class race lap when he turned a four minute, 6.306 second lap while putting together a string of sub 4.7 minute laps of the 8.6-mile circuit.

Maassen's double-stint was turned-over to Bergmeister who continues to take chunks out of the lead of the tea✱m's rival Porsche 911 GT3 RSR competitors. Long will take the seat of the Porsche following Bergmeister's double stint.
