Saturday winners Michael Ammermüller (35 / Rotthalmünster) and Mathieu Jaminet (26 / F, both SSR Performance) defended the championship lead in sixth with their Porsche 911 GT3 R, their points cushion is 16 points after four of 14 races. After a strong race to catch up from 18th place on the grid

Sunday’s race at the Red Bull Ring began in spectacular fashion: while Corvette driver Marvin Kirchhöfer passed pole-sitter Dennis Marschall to take the lead, Mercedes-AMG driver Maro Engel (35/Monte Carlo, Mercedes-AMG Team Toksport WRT) skidded into the crash barriers after a collision, that was no fault of his own, coming out of turn one. The consequence of the crash, from which Engel emerged unhurt: an interruption of roughly 45 minutes while the car was retrieved and the barriers repaired. After the restart, Kirchhöfer and his partner Jeffrey Schmidt, who took over at the wheel of the Corvette at the halfway point in the race, managed to stay in front until they took the chequered flag. The leading Corvette duo was under pressure throughout the entire race from the second-placed Audi, which never fell more than 1.5 seconds back. In the end, Kirchhöfer/Schmidt crossed the finish line 0.842 seconds ahead of Dennis Marschall and Kim-Luis Schramm, whose second place was the best Audi result to date at the Red Bull Ring. The Audi duo’s efforts were rewarded, as they were on Saturday, with first place in the Pirelli Junior competition.

In the exciting closing stages, following a late safety car, BMW drivers Nick Yelloly and Jesse Krohn managed to fight their way into third place on the penultimate lap. Lamborghini works driver and the second-placed man in the championship, Mirko Bortolotti (31/I) and his partner Albert Costa Balboa (31/E, both GRT Grasser Racing Team) snatched fourth place from their team-mates Rolf Ineichen (42/CH) and Franck Perera (37/F, both GRT Grasser Racing Team) on the final lap. Fifth place was good enough to earn Ineichen his second victory of the weekend in the Pirelli Trophy competition.
