Götz finishes in style at the Lausitzring, Lawson still on the podium

Forced to retire on Saturday, Maximilian Götz did not experience any further misadventures this Sunday, thus being able to join the battle for victory.

Third on the starting grid, the driver of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 No. 4 misses its start and falls to 5th place until the pit stops. Key moment of the race for Maximilian Götz who took the opportunity to make up part of his gap.

Having moved up to provisional 2nd place behind Kelvin van der Linde (Abt), the German then received a helping hand from destiny. While in the hunter's position, Maximilian Götz saw the race leader encounter mechanical problems.

Victim of engine shutdowns, Kelvin van der Linde loses everything! Practically at a standstill at the exit of the Luasitzring banking, the South African could do nothing and was dropped off by Maximilian Götz then by Liam Lawson (AF Corse).

With the gap widened, Maximilian Götz will never see Liam Lawson and Kelvin van der Linde catch up with him and will score his first victory this season.

Starting from pole, Philip Ellis (Winward) finally finished 4th ahead of Sheldon van der Linde (Rowe Racing) who completed the Top 5 of the race.
