Allen and his co-drivers in the #55 Proton ORECA-Gibson 07, Fred Poordad, Francesco Pizzi and Porsche factory driver Gianmaria Bruni, were credited with a winning margin of just 0.016 seconds over the identical machine of Hanley, George Kurtz, Matt McMurry and Esteban Gutierrez.
Heading into the closing stages of the race, Allen had been third behind both Hanley and the AF Corse car of Matthieu Vaxiviere, clearing the latter with just seven minutes left on the clock before setting after Hanley.
