Rolex 24, Hour 7: Kobayashi snatches lead back from MSR

Remember how Colin Braun and Meyer Shank Racing took the GTP lead at the top of the hour? It didn't last long thanks to Wayne Taylor Racing's Kamui Kobayashi.

Kobayashi almost collided with Braun as he pulled out in the tri-oval, but the Cadillac man made his move for the lead cleanly to put the No. 40 WTR V-Series.R back in the lead. Now, after a round of pit stops and driver changes, Louis Deletraz is in and still leads by about 1s over Raffaele Marciello in the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8.

This means all three Cadillacs are now in the mix, with Jack Aitken in third aboard the Whelen No. 31 and Brendon Hartley in WTR's No. 10 behind him in fourth.

With PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports and Riley plugging in their Bronze drivers, there's been another shakeup in the LMP2 running order -- a Danish 1-2, in fact.

Malthe Jakobsen leads in the No. 04 ORECA for CrowdStrike Racing by APR, with Nicklas Nielsen in the No. 88 AF Corse ORECA just behind. Paul di Resta runs third in the No. 22 for United Autosports USA.

Paul Miller Racing is back to the front in GTD PRO. Back on sequence with the rest of the front-runners, Kelvin van der Linde leads in the No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, just ahead of Tommy Milner in the No. 4 Corvette Racing Z06 GT3.R. Jordan Pepper runs third in the No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2, and Max Hesse in the sister No. 48 Paul Miller BMW is fourth.

Tom Sargent drove to the front of GTD and checked out in his No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R, pulling out to a 10s lead over the No. 27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin of Mattia Drudi, the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW of Patrick Gallagher, and the No. 32 Korthoff Competition Motors Mercedes-AMG of Daniel Morad -- the latter two now entering the fray for the first time tonight.

Unsurprisingly, the No. 44 Magnus Racing Aston Martin is the third official retirement of the race after its catastrophic engine failure in the previous hour.
