He finished 3rd in the "other tire" GT2 class, behind the "Ex-Hankook now Dunlop"/Corsa F430GT, and the VICI Kumho/Porsche GT3. He did beat the 3 other Dunlop/GT2 cars

As far as his overall GT2 class finish, it was 10th

He finished ahead of the AM and the Ford GT-R, the Viper had issues on the start lap and was done. The Advan Panoz died about 20 laps into the race and was done.

Lou needs to ditch Kumho, which in GT2 is the inferior tire.

I saw Lou nearly get cut off by a sports racer, maybe an Audi? It made the pass with just inches to spare. It looked close on TV, but they probably thought it was a normal pass.
