Dries Vanthoor of BMW was the first to start a flying lap but was later surpassed by Ferrari drivers Antonio Fuoco and Alessandro Pier Guidi. With ten minutes left, the top positions were held by Bourdais, Fuoco, Pier Guidi, Paul-Loup Chatin, Estre, and Vanthoor before a red flag incident involving Vanthoor causing the deletion of his laps.

Pier Guidi secured fourth place, with Fuoco trailing behind.”
