The Angolan prevailed in the #41 WRT ORECA-Gibson 07 alongside Louis Deletraz and Robert Kubica thanks to a four-second shorter final pitstop than erstwhile leader Tom Blomqvist's #22 United Autosports ORECA.
In a race disrupted by four safety cars, the #41 crew was hampered by the timing of the third when Jacques Villeneuve's Vanwall Hypercar clashed with the GTE Am Ferrari of Francesco Castellacci, as Kubica was forced to take on emergency fuel and then pit again immediately after the race returned to green flag conditions.
