The Panis Racing trio Nico Jamin, Job Van Uitert and Julien Canal need to get the pole Saturday AND win the 4 Hours of Portimão Sunday AND the Prema Racing finishing behind P8 to get the drivers and teams titles. Their chances are slim but mathematically still possible!

Racing Team Turkey Oreca #34 holds a 22-point lead in the LMP2 Pro-Am championship, with the #88 AF Corse and is 23 points ahead of #24 Nielsen Racing Oreca.

If the Racing Team Turkey Oreca fails to finish, #88 AF Corse or the #24 Nielsen Racing still need to win the Pro-Am class to move ahead of the Turkish team in the standings.
