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 Toyota is shared by last year's winning crew Sebastien Buemi of Switzerland, New Zealander Brendon Hartley and Japan's Ryo Hirakawa. The number 94 Peugeot that had led into the early hours of Sunday was down in 10th after crashing during the night with the French manufacturer's sister 93 car in fifth place and two laps behind.

Ferrari started with both the 50 and 51 cars on the front row, a first in 50 years for the Italian marque returning as a factory outfit.
