and Dumas third and fourth. United Autosports held first and second in LMP2 with the No. 32 of Will Owen ahead of his teammate Di Resta and the No. 38 Jota car of Roberto González third. Soon after, Kobayashi began slowing due to a loss of power caused by a fracture in the right-hand side exhaust manifold traced to a build quality problem. He relinquished the race lead to teammate Hartley when he entered the garage to allow mechanics to install a new right-hand side turbocharger and exhaust assembly. Repairs lasted 29 minutes and 47 seconds and the No. 7 Toyota returned in fourth position, seven laps behind Hartley. Rebellion's Menezes and Dumas were promoted to second and third. Early morning to afternoon Félix da Costa's seat belts were accidentally undone while adjusting them for tightness through Tertre Rouge in a slow zone, requiring him to make an extra pit stop in Jota's No. 38 car and dropping him further behind United Autosports. In the early morning Brundle drove the No. 32 United Autosports car into the garage for of an hour with a broken solid engine oil line causing an oil leak, handing the lead of LMP2 to Di Resta's sister No. 22 vehicle.

An alternative tyre strategy to refuelling saw exchanges of the class lead between the No. 51 AF Corse and the No. 95 Aston Martin teams. Senna had an anxious moment in the 19th hour when he reported a vibration on the No. 1 Rebellion because its front nose had become dislodged. This required a five-minute stay in the garage for new front bodywork prolonged by a twisted mounting point. Menezes took over from Senna and fell to third behind teammate Dumas. The Rebellion team asked their drivers to pressure Hartley in the No. 8 Toyota to the conclusion of the race. Rebellion frequently imposed team orders on Menezes to stop him battling his teammate Dumas, preventing
