Overview

• The No. 60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing entry driven by Tom Blomqvist heads the race ahead of Jack Aitken’s No. 31 Cadillac with the No. 24 BMW in third after four full-course yellows, including a flying tyre incident.
• An opening-lap crash in the Esses began with Manny Franco’s spin in the No. 34 Ferrari and a head-on hit from Brendan Iribe’s No. 70 Ferrari, damaging multiple GTD cars and sending Franco to a local hospital for evaluation as others were released from care.
• Retirements for the Conquest Ferrari and Magnus Racing Aston Martin rendered Winward Racing unassailable in the GTD standings, securing the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles.
• A second caution followed when Aitken struck a wing mirror shed by AF Corse’s No. 21 Ferrari, leading most of the field to pit while the leading GTP cars stayed out on alternate strategy.
• Orey Fidani clinched the Bob Akin Award and a 2026 Le Mans invitation, while Porsche Penske sidelined Julien Andlauer for a medical emergency with Laurens Vanthoor stepping in to cover both cars.
