The #63 Corvette C6R driven by Fellows/O'Connell/Magnussen finished second in class, two laps behind the GT1 class winning #009 Aston Martin DBR9 driven by Brabham/Rydell/Turner, which completed 342 laps. The #008 DBR9 (Bouchut/Gollin/Elgaad) was third in GT1 a lap behind the #63 Corvette.
The last hours of the race were marked by rain and cold temperatures with the field paced by a safety car for much of the time.
The #64 Corvette driven by Beretta/Gavin/Papis dropped out after only a few hours with a broken driveshaft.
The GT1 cars were very reliable with 14 of 16 starters finishing the race including all six DBR9s, four of the five Corvettes, and both Saleens. The other GT1 retirement was the Lamborghini Murcielago, which only lasted a couple of laps, and all other classes saw higher attrition rates. Only two of the 11 LMP2 cars finished.
The #1 Audi R10 diesel (Beila/Pirro/Werner) won the race and LMP1 completing 369 laps.
