It was only after passing through the finish line that emotions came to the surface. The feeling is great. “

In second place was another Toyota Gazoo Racing team car, with number 7, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez. Third place went to Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (Franck Mailleux, Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook).
