Brilliant Bruni and Bell win LMGT2

The Felbermayr Porsche team of Alex Davison and Marc Lieb finished second, two laps down on the winners after struggling for grip from their Michelin tyres. They could only hold off their Porsche colleagues Raymond Narac and Richard Lietz in the IMSA Performance Matmut team, who had the same grip level problem. The two Porsches finished just 57 seconds apart at the end of the race after mechanically sound races.

Ben Aucott and Stephane Daoudi finished fourth in class, something of a habit for Aucott who has finished fourth at Le Mans two years in succession, and was also fourth overall at the Spa 24 hours at the beginning of August!

The Farnbacher Racing team had a race to forget having qualified on pole position in the class with the team's Ferrari 430 GT. Pierre Kaffer spun into the gravel as Jerome Policand's crippled Corvette got in his way at the chicane and the team's Porsche retired with a drive train problem. Australian-domiciled Dane Allan Simonsen had a broken wheel after a collision with a Spyker which had lost them time.
