After a race full of challenges, BMW M Team RLL’s two MOTUL BMW M4 GT3s finished in seventh and ninth places in the GTD-PRO class. Both cars suffered problems with their underbodies early in the race. Work had to be carried out on the rear diffusor multiple times which cost a lot of time and saw both cars drop well down the field. Turner Motorsport made an impressive comeback back in the GTD class and was running in the top five until they were forced to retire after a night incident. Sharing the driving in the #25 MOTUL BMW M4 GT3 were John Edwards, Connor De Phillippi (both USA), Augusto Farfus (BRA) and Jesse Krohn (FIN). They finished seventh in their class after 698 laps. The second car, with Philipp Eng (AUT), Sheldon van der Linde (RSA), Marco Wittmann (GER) and Nick Yelloly (GBR) at the wheel, finished ninth in the GTD-PRO class.
