The trio qualified second in class, taking eighth on the grid overall.
They dropped back during the opening hours, but by the end of the six-hour endurance race the AB Sport Auto squad had soldiered on and brought their R8 LMS across the line in fourth place, sixth overall. They were in contention for a class podium during the closing stages of the race.
This result was enough to crown Franck Thybaud as the 2014 V de V Endurance Series champion in the GTV 2 class.
