Notes
  1. Giltaire finished first but received a drive through penalty converted into 30 seconds for causing a collision. Andriolo inherited the win.
  2. Initially, Peugeot finished first but received a one place drop penalty for overtaking Giltaire off the track and Giltaire inherited the win. The decision was overturned after an appeal.
