British team 360 Racing topped the LMP3 category, with Ross Kaiser setting a 1m57.179, three tenths ahead of reigning champion Sean Rayhall in the no2 United Autosports Ligier-Nissan. 

Porsche was once again the car to have in the LMGTE class with the no88 Proton Competition 911 of Matteo Cairoli setting the fastest GTE lap of the day with a 1m59.474.  The no55 Spirit of Race Ferrari of Matt Griffin was second, 0.152s behind the Porsche and 0.13s ahead of the no86 Gulf Racing Porsche.
