Notes
Results
Bold indicates overall winner
^1 – The #8 R8G Esports LMP2 , qualified by Marcell Csincsik put down the fastest lap of the day, however, they won’t be leading the virtual field to the green flag at Sebring. Due to a penalty stemming from an incident at Spa-Francorchamps in the previous month, the #23 Porsche Coanda will instead lead the field in the 500 Miles of Sebring . Per the broadcast, Article 17 of the Code of Conduct was breached and therefore all R8G Esports teams would have consequences.[ 16] With that, all three of the R8G Esports cars in the field will be slapped with 10-place grid penalties for Saturday’s event, including the #8 and #18 LMP2s as well as the #888 Ferrari in the GTE category.[ 16] Moving up from the second spot, Josh Rogers laid down the second fastest lap and will be starting from the pole instead with his #23 Porsche Coanda .
