The No. 92 Porsche held third position in GTE until just before the 23rd hour's end, when the team experienced a server connection problem causing a disconnection dropping the car down the class order. During the final hour, the Rebellion team decided they had the incorrect strategy and opted to conserve fuel usage by switching off the engines on occasion and relying heavily on slipstream. Both of the Rebellion entries made their pit stops for fuel with 37 minutes left for the race's final stint. This promoted the ByKolles team to the lead for one lap before Rebellion's cars returned to first and second when Simončič made a pit stop. Wisniewski led Simončič by 23 seconds and was conserving fuel to prevent the need for another pit stop. With 22 minutes remaining, Simončič's ByKolles entry used the extra fuel in his car to pressure Romanidis' No. 13 Rebellion vehicle into making an error at the Dunlop chicane and moved to second position. Romanidis was able to retake second position by slipstreaming past Simončič on the same lap. Not long after, Simončič overtook Romandidis through the Porsche Curves to retake second and was left to draw closer to Wisniewski.
