Nicklas Nielsen, Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina took the chequered flag in the #50 Ferrari 499P with a 14-second margin over the #7 Toyota GR010 HYBRID of Nyck de Vries, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López - who had been recalled due to an injury to Mike Conway - while the #51 Ferrari of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi completed the podium.

There was drama in the penultimate hour when the right door of the #50 Ferrari started to open, prompting race control to display a black and orange flag. Nielsen was forced to pit the car just six laps into the stint, but was able to maintain the net advantage over the #7 Toyota.

Nielsen's race to the finish was made easier by a spin by Lopez at Dunlop corner in wet conditions - a mistake that ended any chance of Toyota scoring another Le Mans victory.

The #50 Ferrari won and the podium could have been even more unforgettable for Spain, because Palou, in the #2 Cadillac, fought for it with tremendous speed, a full-fledged display despite his little experience in his debut in this race. Finally, Palou was 7th and behind the #7 Toyota, which was second, finished the #51 Ferrari. Two Ferrari's on the podium. Unbeatable for those in red.
