Overview

  • Heavy rain delayed the start, the field began on wets, most switched to slicks as the track dried, and a late safety car set up the decisive final lap.
  • Thomas Preining lost control on the inside of Turn 1 and hit Jordan Pepper, then called himself to blame, saying, “Ich bin einfach ein Idiot.”
  • Ayhancan Güven took his third win of the season, with Pepper second and Aitken third; Preining finished fourth.
  • Lucas Auer slipped to third in the championship on 143 points, two behind the joint leaders on 145.
  • Manthey-Porsche extended its teams’ lead to 39 points over Schubert, and Emil-Frey will review Ben Green’s contact with teammate Aitken under rules that prohibit team orders.
