El sábado la carrera fue una batalla de los dos Cadillac con Derani liderando los primeros 37 minutos hasta que se detuvo y dejó a Jack Aitken al volante. Bourdais entregó su Cadillac a Renger una vuelta después, pero sin cambiar llantas y con el tiempo ahorrado Renger se fue al frente y aguantó a Aitken el resto de la carrera para terminar delante por 546 milésimas tras 68 giros. Les siguieron dos Porsche Pesnke, y aunque Mathieu Jaminet estuvo al frente la mayor parte de su turno tuvo un incidente faltando 20 minutos al tocar a un GTD y fue rebasado por Nasr quien acabó en el podio y lidera el campeonato con Dane Cameron; otro Porsche, el del equipo Proton, fue quinto.
