Latest updated placings for Aussies and neighbouring Kiwis can be found below. I’ve got my hands on the most recent entry list (120kb PDF) thanks to Radio Le Mans, so there’s a couple of changes to the entries below.

This update was compiled a few minutes prior to hour 18 ticking over, due to time constraints at my end. The live timer seems a bit flaky at the moment, too, so not sure how accurate these results are. Next update at hour 21.

Rodney Forbes is listed as a German driver, but we can assume that is an error. He’s doing well, too, sitting inside the top 20.

Oh, at the front of the field the #9 Porsche Hybrid is starting to look very comfortable with a lead now in the minutes, rather than seconds.
