Ferrari scored a second end in an eventful 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps and came up with a tense fight with Alpine to win his third victory in a row by car no. 51.

The Alessandro Pier Guidi brought No. 51 Ferrari 499p with James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi 4.229 seconds before sister No. 50 AF Corse-led Fabrikauto from Nicklas Nielsen, Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina.

The podium was completed by No. 36 Alpine A424 by Mick Schumacher, Frederic Makowiecki and Jules Gounon, just under a second behind the second -placed Ferrari.

A security car period, which ended with a little less than two hours caused by an accident for No. 59 United Autosports McLaren, converted the final phase of the race into a fuel consumption meter competition, whereby the two Ferraris gained the upper hand over the no. 36 -alpine, which gained halfway.

Fuoco then passed the Pier Guidi to take the lead in Les Combes on the restart. The latter driver became an intensive fight with the Alps by Mick Schumacher and the BMW of Robin Frijns, who drove an incomprehensible pass in Blanchimont in Frijns for the third time.

A slow puncture, however, forced Schumacher into the box in round 111 of a later 150-year-old full service boxing.

Schumacher drove back to the lead when the stop leader was completed before he arrived in round 135 for the last Splash of Alpine No. 36. The BMW of Frijns has already been removed from the problems with terminal brakes by the disputes.

Pier Guidi recaptured the lead, but had to take 12 minutes for one last splash.

Pier Guidi appeared with a 14-second lead and defeated his advantage until the end of sealing a second win in three races for No. 51 crew, while Nielsen could do it without stopping, hardly in second place from Schumacher.

Toyota achieved fourth place with the No. 8 Gr010 -Hybrid by Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, who had started in 15th place. Buemi started late by joining himself late by making an early standstill standstill and avoiding a late dash.

The Cadillac Hertz team Jota blocked the fifth and sixth places, with car No. 12 by Alex Lynn, Noran Nato, and wants to head Stevens the charges of the American Marque.

Nyck de Vries brought the Toyota No. 7, which he shared the seventh place with Kamui Kobayashi and Mike Conway, followed by the Alps No. 35 by Paul-Loup Chatin, Charles Miles and Ferdinand Habsburg, which was another too late.

Porsches Top -Finisher was the No. 6 Factory Penske 963 by Kevin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and WEC -Bübü -Debütant Pascal Wehrlein in ninth place, whereby the surviving BMW No. 15 BMW M Hybrid V8 by Kevin Magnussen and Raffaele Marciello In 10th in 10 ..

Peugeot was empty -handed in a race where the 9×8 looked as if it had the potential to score big points.

The car no. 93 landed in the hands of Jean-EIC in the fourth hour before a strange pit stop, just before the final security car period left the order, just outside the points.

The contact between Malthe Jakobsen in Peugeot No. 94 and BMW No. 20 meant that the former of the list of retirement had joined with an apparently appearing suspension damage.

Ferrari Sweeps Board as AF Corse wins in LMGT3

The victory in LMGT3 went to No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 by Alessio Rovera, Simon Mann and Francois Heriau through a dominant 40-second edge.

Since the security car periods help to cancel losses from previous penalties, including a run for a PIT stop injury for Auto No. 21, Ferrari took control in the previous hour, since both 296 GT3s increased the order.

Davide Rigon grabbed the lead in Auto No. 54 when he came by Dennis Olsen's Proton competition Ford Mustang in round 9. Rovera was soon a 1-2 for Ferrari.

Rovera then achieved the advantage with a much shorter penultimate pit stop and kept the advantage of the flag, although he had to make a longer last stop.

The Auto No. 88, which Olsen shared with Gianmarco Levorato and Stefano Gattuso, defeated Ferrari No. 54 by Rigon, Francesco Castellacci and Thomas Flohr for only 1.8 seconds and gave Ford his first LMGT3 podium in a regular WEC route.

Proton's second Mustang, Auto No. 77 by Ben Barker, Ben Tuck and Bernardo Sousa, came only a second before a top three finish.

The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evos of Heart of Racing Team and Racing Spirit von Leman completed the top six after the penalties, the latter for Eduardo Barrichello, who triggered contact with Sebastien Baud in Stavelot, who brought the latter into the barriers.

Akkodis ASP only took eighth place for the Lexus RC F GT3 No. 78, which had started the race on Pole, behind No. 92 Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 R.
