>An unexpected engine change in the No. 49 Michael Shank Racing Ligier JS P2-Honda has earned the American team an in-race penalty. The Ohio-based team, which is making its debut at the famed 24-hour event, found a crack in the 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6's oil pan, which necessitated a move to a new unit. >Per the ACO's rules, the five-minute stop-and-hold must be served during the first 12 hours of the race which, with the time lost entering and leaving pit lane, works out to losing just under two laps.
