The Peugeot dropped back to fourth behind the car Negrao shared with Nicolas Lapierre and Matthieu Vaxiviere during the second pitstop cycle after Rossiter was pushed off track by a GTE Am car on is in-lap and lost approximately three seconds. The problem cost the #94 20 minutes in the pits, meaning it could finish no better than 20th, 15 laps in arrears of the Toyota GR010 HYBRIDs that finished 1-2.
