Only 3 cars were entered - Christian in the #66 Ford GT3, Robin (making his BES debut) in #67 BMW and Joseph/Gary in #68 Ford.
Christian qualified an excellent 2nd and settled into that position from the start. The MSP #58 Ford was super fast and Christian had no chance of outpacing them. But, on lap 39, the #58 crashed and had to tow, handing Christian the lead he kept to the end although the final few laps were fairly tense with #58 closing him down quickly using fresher tyres after being forced to adopt a 3 stop strategy after their crash. But Christian held on to take his 5th, and the teams 6th, win out of the 10 weeks.
Joseph qualified the #68 in a great 6th place. Gary started in the car and struggled in the traffic and spun on lap 6, dropping the car to 22nd position. But, after that he, and later Joseph, drove really well to recover back to 11th at the end.
Robin had an interesting race. He qualified 19th but made good progress through the traffic, running in the top 10 during his 2nd stint. But he fell victim to some terrible driving by backmarkers and eventually damaged the car beyond repair.
