Scoring results shows the 2 Z06 GT3.Rs from the British TF Sport finishing with 7th and 8th place finishes and not on the lead lap

In the LMGT3 class, Team WRT put on a strategic masterclass in the changing conditions to deliver a one-two finish with its pair of BMW M4 GT3s.

The pole-winning No. 92 Manthey PureRxcing Porsche 911 GT3 R looked to be in a strong position to repeat its dominant Qatar victory early in the race, but the team erred by bringing in Klaus Bachler for wet tires in the worst of the rain.

While the track was wet enough to force the entire Hypercar field to change on to wet tires, only a handful of cars in the LMGT3 field did so, with the two TF Sport Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs and the No. 55 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 among the other teams to do so.

On the other hand, WRT kept both its cars out on slicks for the duration, which turned the battle for class honors into a two-way fight between the respective pro drivers in each of its cars, Augusto Farfus in the No. 31 car and Maxime Martin in the No. 46 car.

Ultimately, a drive-through penalty for the No. 46 car for not respecting the virtual safety car procedures opened the way for Farfus, Sean Gelael and Darren Leung to take a straightforward victory by 22 seconds over Martin, Valentino Rossi and Ahmad Al Harthy.

The No. 92 Manthey Porsche of Alex Malykhin, Joel Sturm and Klaus Bachler was third, having later switched back to slicks, a lap down on the BMWs.

Completing the top five were the No. 55 Ferrari of Alessio Rovera, Francois Heriau and Simon Mann and the No. 27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo of Ian James, Daniel Mancinelli and Alex Riberas.
