A few moments ahead of hour 21 this is where the Australians and New Zealanders sit. The first six cars in the list have been circulating with good consistency. Special mention to the two Honda Civics (cars #243 and #244) that have been lapping pretty much in unison since last night. They are leading their class (N2), as well.

The Porsche Prius is still enjoying a very healthy lead. Helped in no part by its closest challenger the #2 Audi R8 LMS withdrawing from the event. That leaves the #25 BMW M3 GT2 in second, a bit over one lap behind the #9 Porsche.
