The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP No. 7, driven by Nicolas Minassian, Simon Pagenaud, and Christian Klien, won the event less than thirty seconds ahead of their pursuer, the Pescarolo 01 No. 16, driven by Jean-Christophe Bouillon and Christophe Tinseau. In the LMP2 class, Xavier Pompidou in the Speedy Racing Team Sebah's Lola B08/80 No. 33 did not manage to catch up to Team Essex's Porsche RS Spyder Evo at the end of the race. The latter, driven by Casper Elgaard, Kristian Poulsen, and Emmanuel Collard, won by seven-tenths of a second.
In GT1, only three crews take the start. The French team Luc Alphand Adventures, the defending champion, prevailed once again with its Chevrolet Corvette C6.R driven by Luc Alphand, Patrice Goueslard, and Yann Clairay. Lastly, in GT2, Team Felbermayr Proton's Porsche 911 GT3 RSR (997), driven by Marc Lieb, Richard Lietz, and Horst Felbermayr, Sr. was initially disqualified then reclassified as the winner, ahead of Team Modena's Ferrari F430 GTC driven by Antonio García, Leo Mansell, and Jaime Melo.
Report
Qualifying
The qualifying sessions for both the GT and Prototype categories were marked by several red flag periods which halted the sessions. These were caused by several accidents and car failures on circuit, which left five cars unable to complete a flying lap time. Peugeot was able to lock out the first row by margin of over a second from the leading Aston Martin, while the returning Team Essex Porsche RS Spyder secured pole position in LMP2. Jetalliance Racing gave Aston Martin a pole in GT1 and championship leaders Team Felbermayr-Proton led GT2.
