Victory in LMGT3 went to the No. 54 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 of Davide Rigon, Thomas Flohr and Francesco Castellacci, but second place for the No. 92 Manthey PureRxcing Porsche 911 GT3 R was enough to make Alex Malykhin, Joel Sturm and Klaus Bachler champions with a round to spare.

The No. 92 crew completed a remarkable recovery from 14th on the grid, helped by being one a handful of teams to be able to complete its final driver change under yellow.
This catapulted Bachler into a three-way fight for victory together with Rigon’s Ferrari and the No. 59 United Autosports McLaren 720s GT3 Evo, which had taken advantage of an earlier caution period to force its way into victory contention.

Rigon passed Bachler for the lead just before the five-hour mark, albeit the Italian briefly dropped back to third place during the final round of stops.
The United car briefly regained the advantage as Nicolas Costa handed over to Gregoire Saucy at the final round of stops, but Saucy couldn’t hang on, surrendering the lead to Rigon at Turn 10.

Bachler soon found his way past a struggling Saucy to take second, which was enough to guarantee he, Malykhin and Sturm the LMGT3 title with the sister No. 91 Manthey EMA Porsche failing to score after a late puncture.

Maxime Martin then passed Saucy to grab third for the No. 31 Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 he shares with Valentino Rossi and Ahmad Al Harthy.
Completing the top five were the No. 81 TF Sport Corvette of Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom van Rompuy and the Iron Dames Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 of Sarah Bovy, Rahel Frey and Michelle Gatting.

On old tires, Saucy plummeted down the order in the closing stages, with he and teammates Costa and James Cottingham ending up eighth.

The #82 TF Corvette finished 30 laps down from the lead lap :-(
