A 10 seconds stop and go penalty for jumping the start didn’t stop Team Abu Dhabi by Black Falcon #1 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 from leading the race; the black car is a full lap ahead of SX Team Schubert’s BMW Z4 GT3.
Three Code 60s were triggered before the fourth hour, the first which was caused by the #152 Ginetta G50 which stopped at Turn 1, the second after the Craft Racing #7 Aston Martin hit the barriers at turn 7, and the third Code 60 appeared when the Sorg Rennsport’s #43 BMW Z4M Coupe hit the barriers at turn 5.
SX Team Schubert and their #76 BMW Z4 GT3 are currently followed by the ALL-INK.COM #38 Mercedes SLS AMG, which is a further lap down. Fourth place is occupied by the #4 Porsche 997 Cup of Fach Auto Tech 2.
Craft Racing’s #17 Aston Martin Vantage GT3, which saw its sister car retire, is now in fifth place overall ahead of the Black Falcon 2 Mercedes in sixth. The pole-snatching Chevrolet Corvette is eighth overall behind Spirit of Race 1’s #51 Ferrari 458 Italia.
