• Last torchbearer, Louis Delétraz had to resist the return of Tom Dillmann at the end of the race lap on the No. 07 Inter Europol Competition Oreca 43 which he shares with Sebastian Alvarez and Vladislav Lomko. The Frenchman, former Vanwall driver in the Hypercar category of the World ChampionshipEndurance of the FIA, finally failed in second place, 1.100 seconds behind the Swiss.

• Inter Europol Competition placed its second LM P2, co-driven by Luca Ghiotto, Clément Novalak and Oliver Gray, at the foot of the podium despite a complicated race. COOL Racing completed the top 5 with the No. 37 of Malthe Jakobsen, Ritomo Miyata and Lorenzo Fluxa. In contention for the podium, the No. 65 Oreca of the Panis Racing team (Manuel Maldonado, Arthur Leclerc, Charles Milesi) lost pace at the end of the race to fall to sixth place.
• As for the LM P2 Pro-Am, it was the AF Corse team of François Perrodo, Matthieu Vaxiviere and Alessio Rovera which won ahead of the No. 77 Proton Competition (Giorgio Roda, René Binder, Bent Viscaal) and the No. 20 Algarve Pro Racing (Kriton Lentoudis, Richard Bradley, Alex Quinn).
• The duo of the #320 Eurointernational Ligier JS P11, Matthew Bell and Adam Ali won the LM P3 category.
