Two Safety Car periods in the first hour and a small shower of rain halfway through the race also mixed things up with regards to strategy. However, the race ran under green for the final three hours, with Nicklas Nielsen bringing the #90 AF Corse Ferrari 499P home at the head of the field to score two wins from two, nearly a lap ahead of the #47 Cetilar Racing Ferrari.
The LMP2 battle went down to the final hour, with several cars leading the class. However, it was the #11 Proton Competition Oreca-Gibson that got the upper hand, with Charles Milesi taking the chequered flag 5.3 seconds ahead of Matthieu Vaxiviere in the #37 CLX Motorsport and a further 16 seconds ahead of Ian Aguilera in the #22 United Autosports.
The destination of the GT3 victory was also too close to call until the final 30-minutes with several cars on different pitstop strategies thanks to the earlier virtual safety car allowing some teams to come in to tick off some of the three mandatory 105 second pitstops.
In the end it was the #58 Garage 59 McLaren 720S driven by Tom Fleming which took the chequered flag, just 4.2 seconds ahead of David Perel in the #50 AF Corse Ferrari. The #87 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG crossed the line in third but an outstanding five second time penalty dropped the car back to 4th behind the #27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage.
