The race
The race began as planned at 1:30 p.m. local time with a clean start under acceptable weather conditions, which, however, turned into rain after a few laps and, at later times, snowfall and hail. Due to the weather, the race management sent a safety car . After the race resumed under drier weather conditions, there was an accident with the vehicle with starting number # 4, which crashed into the crash barrier after contact with the car with starting number # 37, which required another safety car phase. When snowfall and hail returned about halfway through the race, two more Safety Car phases followed, during the latter of which the race was ended with a red flag eleven minutes before the end . Despite the enormous number of four Safety Car periods, normal racing was possible for large parts of the race. Based on the results, Toyota won the manufacturer and team title in the LMP1 class and Porsche won the GTE Pro class before the end of the season .
