Big scare at Porsche. As the race entered its final four hours, Kévin Estre pulled straight out of the pits. After a certain moment of uncertainty, the Frenchman managed to restart the No. 963 Porsche 6. The Habs lost a lot of time in history and left in sixth position while they were third in the event.

Up front, Matt Campbell is still at the top of the standings in the other official Porsche. The Australian is closely followed by Jack Aitken (Cadillac no. 31) while Colton Herta makes up part of his deficit in third position at the wheel of the Acura ARX-06 no. 40 of Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti.

LM P2

Era Motorsport took control of the LM P2 category ahead of the #04 from Crowdstrike Racing by APR and the #52 from Inter Europol Competition driven by Pietro Fittipaldi. Scott McLaughlin moved up to fourth for Tower Motorsports, ahead of Felipe Massa (Riley).

GTD / GTD Pro

Alessandro Pier Guidi leads the GTD Pro with the Risi Competizione Ferarri 296 GTE. Sheldon van der Linde clings to second place with the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW around ten seconds behind. The gap is made with the Porsche “Rexy” from AO Racing. There Mercedes Winward Racing's No. 3 AMG GT57 dominates the GTD standings.
