Overview

  • The No. 7 Porsche 963 edged the No. 31 Action Express Cadillac by 1.569 seconds after a late charge from Jack Aitken.
  • A six-hour-and-33-minute overnight fog neutralization set a race record for a single full-course yellow interruption.
  • Nasr shared the win with Julien Andlauer and Laurin Heinrich as both factory Porsches rebounded from mid-race repairs under caution.
  • Class winners were CrowdStrike Racing by APR in LMP2, Paul Miller Racing in GTD Pro, and Winward Racing in GTD.
  • Mechanical issues and penalties influenced the outcome, including a lost wheel for MSR’s No. 93 Acura, a fire-induced retirement for WTR’s No. 10 Cadillac, and recurring electrical troubles for Aston Martin’s Valkyrie.
