A clutch failure allowed the Gavin/Beretta/Magnussen Corvette to pass the 009 Aston Martin and win GT1. The 007 Aston Martin placed second and the Alphand Adventures Corvette Third. A Panoz again won a major endurance race: this time the LNT Panoz. Seikel Motorsports faced late mechanical trouble and dropped to second place. Third place was the Scuderia Ecosse Ferrari.
