A trouble-free night saw the no.2 Toyota TS040 hybrid of Alex Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin and Mike Conway consolidate its position, holding a relatively isolated 7th place, five laps behind the leader, the no.19 Porsche 919 hybrid of Nick Tandy and Le Mans rookies Earl Bamber and Nico Hülkenberg that went on to win the race.
