We are just past the one-hour mark at the Petit Le Mans and the race has taken a dramatic turn. Race leader and ALMS P1 championship Lucas Luhr’s Muscle Milk Honda has been clipped by a GTC car and suffered considerable damage.

The car is about to be flat-bedded back to the paddock for repairs. It must complete 70 percent of the 1000 mile race distance to receive the points needed to clinch the 2012 championship.

That gives the race lead back to the Rebellion Racing Toyota of Neel Jani.

Marino Franchitti continues as the P2 class leader and is now in second place overall.
