  • In full aquaplanning, the Glickenhaus n°709 and the Cadillac n°3 left at the same time and in the same place! fortunately for the two American mounts, no major damage…

  • WRT n°31 went straight at the bends Porsche, damaging its left front wing.
  • While trying to overtake GTs, Frederick Lubin lost control of the United #22 and crashed into the Dempsey Proton #16.

GTE Am

  • In GTE Am, it is the Porsche n°86 of GR Racing which leads the debates in the rain, once again with an upset classification.
  • Several cars left the track, victims of aquaplanning: this is notably the case of the Ferrari n°83 of Richard Mille Racing – AF Corse of Lilou Wadoux, which is still stopped on the track…
