It was a lights-to-flag victory for the #69 crew of Ahmad Al Harthy, Sam De Haan and Marco Sørensen in LMGTE. Al Harthy stormed to pole position by 0.383s and then followed this by opening the race with a phenomenal first stint, and despite his lead being reduced by a safety car period, he managed to hand over to De Haan with a comfortable gap to P2. Between De Haan and Sørensen, they managed to keep their noses clean and keep #69 ahead, to cross the line victorious and making them the first Omani team in history to win an ELMS race.
The #95 sister car of John Hartshorne, Henrique Chaves and Jonny Adam finished in P2 after a huge push through the LMGTE class. Bronze driver Hartshorne drove his strongest ever opening stint in the ELMS, as he fought from P11 to P5 before handing over to Adam. It was then in the hands of Jonny who made it up to the top end of the class, before passing the reins to silver ace, Chaves. Henrique then continued to build the gap between #95 and third place, to take the flag for their debut ELMS podium.
