* WRT's #32 BMW is back on sequence after staying out on wets while others swapped to slicks just before rain returned.
* CrowdStrike by Riley's Mercedes-AMG is comfortably leading Pro-Am. Three laps separate Colin Braun from RJN's McLaren, which has Jasnn Mardenborough onboard.
* Weerts leads Pereira but they, just like the rest of the top-nine, are off sequence with the likes of Jaminet, Rovera and Stolz who are on the optimum strategy if the race runs green from here. But given what we've seen so far, that is highly unlikely.
* Heading towards half distance and the rain - albeit far less heavy than before - has returned.
* ROWE's #998 BMW was running very nicely in third but has copped a drive-through penalty for Harper running the red light at pit exit. Hesse, whose now onboard, serves it on the Northern Irishman's behalf.
* Contact between Rougier and Morad sends CSA's Audi to the garage and Winward's MANN-FILTER Mercedes-AMG to the lane with a puncture.
* The top contenders are all running similar strategies now. Pure Rxing's Bachler - whose Pro entry features an Am in the shape of Malykhin - leads on merit from fellow Porsche team SSR Herberth and Jaminet.
* Remember when Rossi tagged the Ferrari at the Bus Stop? Well, it's now about five hours later and Race Control has handed out a drive-through penalty.
* Change for the lead: Harper has passed Eriksson on the run to Blanchimont, and Bachler follows the BMW through next time around.
* Good news as we tick past the 10-hour mark: WE'RE RACING AGAIN AT SPA! 1h45m of Safety Car is more than enough for one night.
* Do not adjust your screens: persistent heavy rain means we're still behind the Safety Car. WRT's BMW and Maxime Martin lead Phantom's Porsche of Joel Eriksson, but those cars are at the start and middle of their stints, respectively.
* Welcome to hour 9. We have no new information.
* Still raining. Still Safety Car. It's 00:20 local time and the rain is expected to continue at this level for at least another 90 minutes. We "moist certainly" won't be going green any time soon. Sorry.
* It's five minutes before midnight at Spa-Francorchamps. The weather is most certainly not easing. We could be running the Safety Car for a while yet.
* You can add George Kurtz to the list of Bronze drivers on-track. He's now aboard the #4 CrowdStrike by Riley Mercedes-AMG.
* Actually, no, we're not going racing. The rain is only getting woese and we're staying behind the Safety Car.
* We're going racing. Massive respect to everyone out there, but especially the three Bronze-graded drivers: Josh Caygill (#100 McLaren), David Pun (#16 Mercedes-AMG) and Mark Sansom (#158 McLaren).
* This is now a Safety Car. It's very wet. Just about to tick over into the eighth hour.
* We're currently under a long FCY. The rain is really coming down, so even if we went racing it might not last especially long. The #911 Porsche currently leads from the #9 Mercedes-AMG and the #130 Mercedes-AMG.
* FCY, the #188 Garage 59 McLaren is in the gravel at Les Combes. Adam Smalley was at the wheel of that car.
* The rain is really getting heavy now, just on the cusp of 23:00 local. The leaders were due a stop anyway so they're piling in for wets.
* Class leaders at 22:45 local are: #93 Ferrari (Bronze, P10); #57 Mercedes-AMG (Silver, P57); #60 Mercedes-AMG (Gold, P60); and #100 McLaren (Pro-Am, P36).
* The #7 Comtoyou Aston Martin – a new car, we should remind you – leads this race. Belgian teams are one-two, with the #9 Boutsen VDS Mercedes-AMG – definitely not a new car, but a very successful one – in second. Then it's the #99 Audi, the #998 BMW and the #911 Porsche.
* And we are green! Full darkness here now at Spa-Francorchamps and pretty wet. This is the ultimate challenge of this event. Here's how they run at the start of the seventh hour.
