It was the second GT World victory of the season for the Belgian squad and marked the first time that Aston Martin has claimed multiple wins in the same season in the world’s premier GT3-only endurance series. Drudi, Sørensen and Thiim having also won the season-opener at Paul Ricard (FRA) in April.
Having started from pole position, thanks to the combined efforts of the same three drivers who claimed Aston Martin’s and Comtoyou Racing’s historic 24 Hours of Spa win in 2024, Sørensen took the lead at the start and from that point on the #007 Vantage GT3 controlled the race with barely a hitch. Drudi took over for the second stint, which was interrupted by a prolonged Full Course Yellow and Safety Car period.
A strategic pitstop just before the final hour kept the #007 ahead of the #59 McLaren, which had attempted to undercut the Aston Martin. Thiim then controlled the closing stages, taking the chequered flag 5.751 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.
