Jamie Campbell-Walter has been ruled out of the race following a crash in qualifying and his co-driver, Stuart Hall, has switched to the Creation AIM's second entry with Robbie Kerr and Bruce Jouanny. The WR Salini has been put to the back of the grid having failed to set a qualifying time.

Jos Verstappen leads the "LM" P2 class while Olivier Beretta heads "LM" GT1 for Corvette and Rob Bell the "LM" GT2 class for Ferrari.
