Bamber was pressuring Neel Jani's Proton Porsche 963 LMDh for third place with a little under two hours remaining in the race when the pair came upon the battle for fourth in the LMGT3 class on the run to Les Combes.
With Jani delayed slightly behind Gelael's WRT-run BMW M4 GT3 and the D'Station Aston Martin Vantage of Erwan Bastard, Bamber had a run on the Swiss rounding the Kemmel Straight's right-hand kink.
