The Callaway Corvette No 74, driven by Coppelli, had a blow out
 on it's left rear tyre on lap 76 just before the first Mulsanne 
chicane
It made it's way slowly back
to the pits, losing bodywork, including part of the back and the door,
on the way, as well as showering shards of wheel and carbon fibre all
over the track.

Car 15, the the WR LM96 reserve car brought in at the very last minute 
when the Debora blew an engine in the warm-up, had a rear left 
puncture and made it'sway back to the pits
