The victory was taken by the #17 car, driven by Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley, the same Le Mans winning team.

The #17 car lost its lead to the #18 car briefly when it had to make a long pitstop for fuel, while later on in the race the #18 car suffered three penalties after exceeding fuel allowance.

This was caused due to a faulty fuel sensor which made the team lose track of fuel levels and mis manage the fuel process.
