At the start of the race, Laurens Vanthoor’s Porsche 963 was on pole but lost the lead to Nielsen’s Ferrari very early on, making it a Ferrari 1-2 with Antonio Giovinazzi in second. Vanthoor managed to regain the lead during the pitstop cycle due to Porsche Penske’s efficient work, but was later passed by Nielsen once again. Nielsen, however, may face a penalty for releasing into Bourdais’s path after a pitstop. In LMP2, Bent Viscaal is leading in the Proton Competition Oreca, followed by Mathias Beche in the Panis Racing Oreca and Oliver Jarvis in the United Autosports Oreca. Ben Keating’s spin in the #23 United Autosports car dropped him to last in LMP2. Frederik Schandorff is currently leading in LMGT3 onboard the Inception Racing McLaren, followed by Ben Barker’s Proton Ford Mustang and Larry Ten Voorde’s JMW Motorsport Ferrari.
