Technical director Luca Ciancetti suggested that the pace of the Glickenhaus 007 LMH shared by Romain Dumas, Pipo Derani and Olivier Pla would have brought it back into contention over the second half of the six-hour race after it lost of a lead of more than 50s late in the third hour.
That advantage was wiped out by a safety car, and then the drive-through penalty taken immediately after the race went green left the car 30s behind race leader Mike Conway in the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid.
