Second overall and quickest in the GT3 class were Antal Zsigo and Max Hesse from the Racing Trevor team, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 Evo.

The third position in the GT3 class went to the Polish duo Piotr Wira and Mateusz Lisowski, racing a Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo, while fourth place was taken by Dennis Waszek and Gregor Zsigo in a BMW M6 GT3.
The GTC class was dominated by Jakub Knoll and Josef Záruba, driving a Lamborghini SuperTrofeo for the Mičánek Motorsport team. In the GTC1 class, designated for Porsche cup cars, Bob Bau from Trencar Racing was the quickest.
Spectators can look forward to an exciting battle in the GT4 class. A notable new entry is the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 from Janík Motorsport, driven by Václav Janík and Jan Matyáš, who qualified fastest in their class. They were followed by three Mercedes GT4 cars: Primožič-Lodi from Lema Racing, Lacko-Mikeš, and Hudec-Nedoma from Buggyra ZM Racing. Behind them was the father-and-son duo Pavel and Troy Sovička with a Lotus Emira from Blue Garage Racing, and Kosohov driving a Porsche Cayman from GT Sports Technology.
