End of race

Both works-entered Ferraris finished outside the top ten, with the No. 51 car serving a late drivethrough penalty for contact with the No. 99 Porsche.

Meanwhile, the sister No. 50 Ferrari had its run thwarted by contact with Ben Keating’s No. 33 TF Sport Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the third hour, which then required the car’s tail section to be replaced.

For the first time in the Hypercar category’s history, Toyota failed to score points with any of its cars as its pair of GR010 Hybrid endured an anonymous run to 14th and 15th.
The pair of Aston Martin Valkyries crossed the line in 13th and 16th, respectively.

In the LMGT3 class, Akkodis ASP Team delivered its and Lexus’ first WEC victory, with Razvan Umbrarescu, Clemens Schmid and Jose Maria Lopez putting in a commanding performance after grabbing the lead in the opening hour.
Umbrarescu passed the polesitting No. 10 Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo of Anthony McIntosh after 20 minutes, after which the No. 87 Lexus RC F GT3 remained at the front of the LMGT3 class effectively through the entire race.

This was despite a drivethrough penalty given to Lopez approaching the halfway point of the race for speeding in the pitlane.
The victory marks the first for both team and manufacturer in WEC, having enjoyed an upturn in form in its sophomore campaign that had previously resulted in a podium finish for the sister No. 78 car at Imola.

The No. 81 TF Sport Corvette of Tom van Rompuy, Rui Andrade and Charlie Eastwood finished second,
while Eduardo Barrichello completed a late pass on Michelle Gatting to take third in the No. 1o Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin he shared with McIntosh and Valentin Hasse-Clot.
Gatting’s No. 85 Iron Dames Porsche, co-driven by Celia Martin and Rahel Frey, finished fourth, with the No. 78 Lexus rounding out the top five in the class.
