The starting grid featured a mixed field of cars not only from the GT Cup series but also from the P9 Challenge and Sports Car Challenge, making up a total of 38 cars. Jesse Krohn made a safe start in his BMW M4 GT3 for the Racing Trevor team and led the way from start to finish.
On the front row were Hermann Speck and Miro Konopka, with Maurius Aigner — the fastest driver in the GTX class — and Marco Fink on the second row. The third row belonged to Jesse Krohn in the BMW M4 GT3, alongside Aigner’s teammate Jack Russel in a KTM X-BOW GT2.
All drivers made it safely through the first corner, but in Turn 2 Rudolf Beňo spun directly in front of almost the entire field. Fortunately, no one hit the stranded BMW in the middle of the track, and Beňo was able to continue once the pack had passed.
Krohn led the GT3 class, followed by Aigner and Russel, who headed the GTX class. After two laps, however, the safety car was deployed when one of the SCC cars ended up in the gravel trap.
With ten minutes remaining, the race was restarted. Krohn wasted no time reasserting his pace, maintaining the GT3 lead and running second overall. The fight in GTX was intense between Aigner, Russel, and Dennis Waszek in a Lamborghini. Waszek eventually passed both rivals to win the GTX class ahead of Aigner and Russel.
In GT3, it was a one-man show from Krohn, who dominated the class from start to finish. Piotr Wira brought his Mercedes-AMG GT3 home in second, while Rudolf Beňo claimed third after Aliyyah Koloc was handed a 10-second penalty.
The GTC class was decided between teammates Bronislav Formánek and Josef Záruba, finishing in that order. Third place — and victory in the GTC1 subcategory — went to Robert Lucák in a Porsche 911.
In GT4, Adam Lacko took the win in his Mercedes-AMG GT4, followed by teammate Martin Hudec, with Dobroslav Kárník completing the podium in a BMW M4 GT4.
