Toyota Le Mans racer goes off track, takes roundabout, keeps third.
, then slid left while skidding through the runoff area. Typically, a driver would jam on the brakes here and wait patiently for a chance to spin the car around and re-join the race. Kobayashi, though, is an expert: he noticed that the runoff area led to what would otherwise be a roundabout if the race were not happening, which he then followed until he found his exit. He made a full loop, exited the roundabout, and went back on his way without ever actually stopping.
Kobayashi, who won this race with Toyota back in 2021 and uniquely serves off track as the Gazoo Racing team's principal, did not actually lose a position in the exchange. His No. 7 Toyota GR010 still sits in third after seven hours of racing, meaning he and the No. 7 Toyota team still have a chance for what would likely be the first-ever roundabout-and-win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
