The 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans has gotten off to a strange start befitting of a strange year. There have been a handful of yellow flags for drivers who took some off-track excursions, and the weather has alternated between a light drizzle and bursts of sunshine. It was a fairly clean run despite everything, with no safety cars for the first four hours.

To no one’s surprise, the two Toyota LMP1 cars slid into the front within the first few minutes, with the No. 7 leading from pole position. Most of the top cars averaged a 10-11 lap stint before needing to stop for fuel. Bruno Senna has set the fastest lap of the race so far.
