Peugeot at daggers drawn with Audi, Pescarolo lied in ambush!

The two had run close together in the final hour, and Lamy was penalised for passing a backmarker under a yellow flag. However, before he served the penalty, he and Rockenfeller clashed, breaking a wheel rim of the Audi, which left the Peugeot clear to take victory. Christophe Tinseau, driving for Henri Pescarolo, snatched third position away from the Creation AIM of Stuart Hall on the final lap and crossed the line just two seconds clear.

Porsche filled the “LM” P2 podium with Casper Elgaard and John Nielsen taking their first ever win in the category in the Team Essex Porsche RS Spyder, despite a one minute stop and go penalty after a pit lane infringement. Jos Verstappen saw his lead disappear after a collision in traffic which damaged the rear of his Porsche.

The Aston Martin of Team Modena held out to win the “LM” GT1 class ahead of the Luc Alphand Corvette, Tomas Enge crossing the line just 12 seconds clear of Olivier Beretta, while in GT2, Porsche scored its first win of the year. Raymond Narac and Richard Lietz crossed the line first, but were later excluded for a technical infringement. Richard Westbrook, Lars Eric Nielsen and Allan Simonsen inherited the win.
