🤖 Race Summary

In the Nissan GTP class, Stephane Majman secured victory after starting the race from the third position. Majman completed 56 laps with five incidents and led a total of 17 laps. The race featured significant back-and-forth competition at the front of the field. Pole-sitter Gabri Martinez led the opening stages until Sheamus Power took the lead on lap 8. Power maintained control for the majority of the race, leading 32 laps before Majman reclaimed the position on lap 31. After Power briefly cycled back to the front on lap 35, Majman executed a final pass on lap 44 and held the lead for the remainder of the event. Martinez finished second, completing 56 laps with 10 incidents, while Power rounded out the podium in third, also completing 56 laps with five incidents. The Audi 90 GTO class was defined by the performance of Noel Luneburg, who served as the primary pace-setter for the first half of the event. Luneburg led the field and battled at the front for approximately 26 laps before a crash derailed his race. Despite his competitive pace, the damage forced him out of contention for the win, and he ultimately finished the race in fifth place with 11 total incidents. With Luneburg sidelined, Jack Wells2 capitalized on the opportunity to take the class win. Having started from the third position, Wells2 completed 49 laps with 11 incidents to cross the line first. Mickey Friesen, who started second, finished in the runner-up spot after completing 49 laps with 6 incidents. Cal Young demonstrated strong race craft by climbing from an eighth-place start to finish on the podium in third, completing 49 laps with 13 incidents. Elsewhere in the field, several drivers made notable progress through the pack. Josefine Becker successfully gained eight positions in her class, while Matthew Cockerham improved his standing by seven positions. Conversely, some drivers struggled with track consistency; Laust Olsen recorded 17 incidents during the event, and Jontxu Pardo finished with 11 incidents.
