Frederic Vervisch in the FUCHS Audi and Ricardo Feller’s Bend Motorsport Park Mercedes were impressing, demoting Talbot and Ellis by Lap 15, to move into seventh and eighth respectively, but Feller then passed Vervisch to become the top of the Pro-Am cars, and move onto the tail of Vanthoor, who was now 33sec off the front.
Vanthoor went to Lap 33 before stopping, followed in by Wall and Talbot. Talbot handed off to Chaz Mostert, but sadly the Supercars ace breached the pit exit line while struggling on cold tires, and was issued a drive-through penalty. Jaminet passed Habul for third on Lap 40 but lay 27sec behind Goetz who had gotten his deficit to Grenier down to two seconds, while Martin and Vervisch were ahead of Habul on Lap 41, and locked in battle with each other. Weerts got around Habul on Lap 44, while Vervisch slotted his Audi ahead of Martin’s BMW just one lap later.at the 1hr45min mark, and closing on leaders Grenier and Goetz – who were only half a second apart – to try and get his Audi back on the lead lap.
