Fourth was the #4 Porsche of Pascal Wehrlein, with Miguel Molina in the #50 Ferrari fifth.

A late incident between the #8 Toyota of Ryo Hirakawa and Casper Stevenson in the #57 Kessel Ferrari 296 GT3 saw the two make contact at Karting corner exiting the Porsche Curves. Both had damage, but made it safely back to the pits.
