Porsche was the first of the main manufacturers to stumble with the #14 car of Neel Jani, Romain Dumas and Marc Lieb suffering a fuel pressure issue. The car recovered to fourth only for insult to hitch a ride on injury courtesy of a gearbox gremlin striking the Stuttgart team in the 24th hour.
Likewise, Nissan’s ‘Garage 56’ ZEOD entry also succumbed early, but proved its point of reaching a top speed of 300kph in qualifying and claiming the first all-electric powered lap of La Sarthe during the Saturday morning warm-up.
