• ^1 – The #8 R8G Esports LMP2, qualified by Marcell Csincsik put down the fastest lap of the day, however, they won't be leading the virtual field to the green flag at Sebring. Due to a penalty stemming from an incident at Spa-Francorchamps in the previous month, the #23 Porsche Coanda will instead lead the field in the 500 Miles of Sebring. Per the broadcast, Article 17 of the Code of Conduct was breached and therefore all R8G Esports teams would have consequences.^[16] With that, all three of the R8G Esports cars in the field will be slapped with 10-place grid penalties for Saturday's event, including the #8 and #18 LMP2s as well as the #888 Ferrari in the GTE category.^[16] Moving up from the second spot, Josh Rogers laid down the second fastest lap and will be starting from the pole instead with his #23 Porsche Coanda.
