So no surprises there in terms of the winners anyway..... a Toyota 1-2, led by Kobayashi in the #7 car. Lotterer 3rd in the #6 Penske Porsche, and the rest at least a lap down. Have to say the Porsche did at least seem to be able to push the Toyotas all the way and led for many, indeed most of the race laps.
I think there must have been some very different set ups with the two Ferraris with the #50 being blisteringly quick, going through the trap at 330kph whereas others including the sister #51 were c 310 -ish.
Peugeots made places but really that was the Caddies suffering issues with reliability.
WRT won the LMP2 class with the No. 41 Oreca 07 Gibson of Deletraz, Kubica andAndrade. Kubica finished 1 minute and 7 seconds clear of the No. 22 United Autosports entry of Filipe Albuquerque, who got by the No. 31 WRT Oreca of Robin Frijns with two laps to go after the two collided while battling for position.
No further action was made by the stewards for the incident, which saw side-to-side contact between the two cars.
United’s No. 23 was classified fourth in class, ahead of the best of the Signatech-run Alpine entries, which completed the top-five.
GTE-Am class honours, meanwhile, went to the No. 54 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo of Davide Rigon, Francesco Castellacci and Thomas Flohr after multiple setbacks and penalties for champions-elect Corvette Racing.
Rigon finished 19.020 seconds ahead of WEC debutant Ritomo Miyata in the No. 57 Kessel Racing Ferrari to give Castellacci and Flohr their first championship victory since Fuji 2017.
The class pole-sitting Corvette came home third after receiving a 30-second stop-and-hold penalty for avoidable contact between Ben Keating and Flohr in the third hour, which also led to the Pratt Miller-run team being forced to replace the car’s right-side door due to a broken leader light system.
