One Toyota takes the WEC win in Portugal, as the second Toyota entry suffers mechanical issues.

United Autosports takes 1-2 in the LMP2 class.

When Conway was forced to pit after a torque sensor alert forced an unscheduled pit-stop for a driveshaft and corner assembly change, the No. 8 took the point and first Ryo Hirakawa and then Hartley cruised to victory.“I am really happy, “Hartley said. “It has been an awesome weekend right from the start of practice. It was a great race, and everything went perfectly; no mistakes by the drivers or on pit stops, we had the right strategy and the car was faultless.

The No. 6 Porsche 963 of Andre Lotterer, Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor took third and the first WEC podium for the Porsche Penske Motorsport team. The No. 51 Ferrari of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi had looked to be in position to fight for the podium but a brake problem and a switch off of its hybrid system saw them fall back to sixth position at the checkered flag.
