United Autosports driver Tom Blomqvist stormed to LMP2 class pole in qualifying before pulling out a 45s lead in the first two stints of the race, Mike Conway got his title challenge back on track by leading a Toyota 1-2 from pole, and James Calado’s superb late charge was rewarded by recovering a podium finish for Ferrari on the final lap.
