Audi Sport drivers Christopher Haase and Patric Niederhauser shared duties in the 12-hour race with Erwan Bastard. After winning the titles in the GT4 European Series and GT4 France with Saintéloc Racing in the Audi R8 LMS GT4, the French privateer racer competed for the first time in the significantly faster GT3 sports car and mastered his task with flying colors. Together, the driver trio finished third after 335 laps, just 15.1 seconds behind the winners and 0.751 seconds behind the runners-up.

In the end, the Tresor Attempto Racing team recorded ninth place. The privateers Alex Aka/Pietro Delli Guanti/Finlay Hutchison had started from 30th place in the number 99 car and improved by a total of 21 positions in a strong starting field. Amid many safety car phases and tactically distributed pit stops, the privateers were still at the top of the timesheets for 15 laps. In the end, the driver trio won the Silver Cup classification.

The Saintéloc Junior Team led the field with the number 26 Audi R8 LMS for a total of 16 laps. Simon Gachet, Lucas Légeret and Audi Sport driver Gilles Magnus shared the duties in Abu Dhabi. Magnus was forced to retire one and a half hours before the end with a drivetrain issue.
