The suspense lasted until the end for the attribution of the titles in Blancpain Endurance Series. In the Pro Cup, it was ultimately the Nissan clan who won the crown with the trio Alex Buncombe, Wolfgang Reip and Katsumasa Chiyo, thanks to their third place obtained at the Nürburgring after resisting the last assaults of the 2014 title holder Laurens Vanthoor (Audi R8 LMS ultra? Team WRT).
The final victory in Germany, however, went to the McLaren Von Ryan Racing 650S of Kevin Estre, Shane Van Gisbergen and Rob Bell, pourtant auteurs d’une qualification moyenne. Comme à Silverstone, c’est grâce à une stratégie parfaite lors des arrêts aux stands que le trio s’est hissé aux avant-postes, pour venir s’imposer avec plus de 14 secondes d’avance sur la Bentley Continental GT3 n°7 du Team M-Sport de Meyrick ? Kane ? Smith. Le titre Teams revient au Belgian Audi Club Team WRT.
In Pro-Am, the German final smiled on the Emil Frey G3 Jaguar of Gabriele Gardel, Lorenz Frey, Fredy Barth, who achieved his first success in the category. Adrien De Leener and Cedric Sbirrazzuoli (Ferrari 458 Italy? AF Corse) failed by less than half a second on the finish line.
The team AKKA-ASP of Jérôme Policand wins the Am Cup thanks to the duo Fabien Barthez? Anthony Pons (Ferrari 458 Italia), the title failing to Ian Loggie and Julian Westwood (Audi R8 LMS ultra – Team Parker Racing)
