Overview
- Charles Milesi, Paul‑Loup Chatin and Ferdinand Habsburg won in the No. 35 Alpine, with the No. 93 Peugeot second and the No. 6 Porsche third after a charge from 17th on the grid.
- Alpine’s race flipped when it pitted just before a Full Course Yellow that became a safety car, then gained the lead at the final stop by changing only the left‑side tyres.
- Three safety cars and five FCYs repeatedly reset the order, with Raffaele Marciello’s high‑speed BMW crash in hour two triggering the pivotal neutralisation; he was unhurt.
- Penalties proved decisive: Toyota’s No. 8 served a three‑minute stop‑and‑go for an FCY pit‑procedure error, Porsche Penske’s No. 6 took a five‑second pit penalty, and the polesitting JOTA Cadillac faded to seventh after early control.
- Ferrari’s factory 499Ps finished outside the top ten as the Hypercar title gap reportedly shrank to about 21 points heading to Bahrain, while TF Sport’s Corvette won LMGT3 after the No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari received a post‑race time penalty.
