Restarting the Spa spherical in Might after the scheduled end time, set for 19:00, was unprecedented within the historical past of the WEC since its rebirth in 2012. 

The stewards invoked a clause within the sporting guidelines that states: “If the circumstances so require the stewards could take the choice to cease and/or modify the race time set. This may occasionally not exceed the time of the competitors [meaning six hours in the case of Spa].”

Ferrari argued in its unsuccessful protest and subsequent enchantment that this clause didn’t permit for the race to be restarted outdoors of its unique timeframe. 

The necessity for in depth barrier repairs after a stoppage early within the penultimate hour prevented a resumption inside the 13:00-19:00 timeframe laid down for the occasion, however the stewards determined to restart the race past the scheduled end. 

An extra one hour and 44 minutes of racing — the remaining time on the clock on the stoppage minus the time it took for the vehicles to line up on the start-finish straight – started at 19:10.

The 2 manufacturing facility Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercars had been working 1-2 when the race was red-flagged after 4 hours and 13 minutes.

The 2 Porsches had pitted simply earlier than the crimson flag, so made up more often than not misplaced as a result of the race was restarted beneath the protection automobile after which moved to the entrance when the vehicles forward of them made their subsequent scheduled pitstops.
