Ferrari led defending champions Toyota into the final three hours of the centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans on Sunday with only 14 seconds separating the cars after an enthralling battle through the night at the Sarthe circuit.
The number 51 Ferrari 499P car shared by Italian Alessandro Pier Guidi, Britain's James Calado and ex-Formula One racer Antonio Giovinazzi was setting the pace but the outcome was too close to call.
Buemi is chasing his fifth Le Mans win while Toyota have their sights set on a sixth win in succession in the world's greatest sportscar race, now in its 91st edition since the first run in 1923. The number seven Toyota retired after being involved in a collision with Japan's Kamui Kobayashi, also principal of the endurance team, at the wheel with 103 laps gone.
