The Audi cars left third placed Comandini-Fornaroli 38"121 adrift with the Ferrari 458 run by Vita4One Team Italy, while 4th and 5th spot were occupied respectively by the Antonelli Motorsport Porsche GT3 R of Monti-Passuti, with a 45"317 gap from the lead, and the Ebimotors GT3 R driven by Balzan-Barri, further 6 seconds behind.

Brothers Victor and Giovanni Coggiola (Porsche RSR-CVG S.A.) got a 9th overall that meant the win in the GT2 class, while Sanna-Stancheris clinched success in the 1st division of the GT Cup Class with the Imperiale Racing Lamborghini Gallardo. Bellini-Donativi won the 2nd Division ahead of Negra-Giondi, both the crews on Porsche 997s run by Antonelli Motorsport.
