Then shortly after 1.30am Craft brought the De Cadenet in with suspect handling.

After some cautious laps and further repairs he resumed in 11th place and carried on through the night. At 2am, the Gelo Porsche (now running 4th) was out with engine problems – when a loose screw fell into the distributor.
