Notes

  1. Kvyat is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  2. The No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari had all its lap times disallowed due to failing post-qualifying technical inspection, with an unplugged mandatory sensory permitted by IMSA regulations.[11]
  3. The No. 65 Ford Multimatic Motorsports originally finished 3rd in the GTD Pro class, but was later moved to the back of the class after post-race inspection revealed tire pressures exceeding the allowed limit.[14]
