Audi makes gearbox change.
The second-placed Audi of Laurent Aiello𒊎 lost furthe🌜r ground on its race-leading sister car when it made an emergency stop for a new gearbox in the eleventh hour of the Le Mans marathon.
The yellow-hued #2 car ꦑhad actually been in the lead of the race when it called in, having assumed control when Frank Biela called in for a driver change, but immediately relinquished the advantage to the #1 machine as Aiello swung into the garage for the Joest team to carry out the swap.

In well-rehearsed fashion, the German crew took just 5min 45secs to install an entire new rear end, facilitated by the R8'💞s modular design, as well as fit new intermediate tyres for the drying conditions and install Rinaldo Capello behind the wheel.
The car 🅷rejoined in second spot, now a lap down on Tom Kristensen in the #1 machine, but still six laps clear of the third-placed Chrysler when it returned to🀅 the track.
