Bruni and Lietz had fought their way through from the rear of the GTE Pro class grid to claim second place in their class, 14 seconds down on the winning #51 AF Corse Ferrari.

However, in post-race scrutineering the #91 Porsche 911 RSR’s ride height was found to be 2mm lower than the minimum permissible 50mm, resulting in their disqualification.

It promotes the #67 Ford of Harry Tincknell and Andy Priaulx to second in class, while the second Porsche, the #92 car of Michael Christensen and Kevin Estre, moves up to third.

The leading entries from Aston Martin and BMW meanwhile move up to fourth and fifth places respectively.
