The #10 Mercedes SLS AMG of Hofor-Racing took the win at Zandvoort after a long scrap with the #30 Ram Racing SLS of Thomas Jäger, Tom Onslow-Cole and Paul White. Drivers Christiaan Frankenhout, Roland Eggimann, Michael Kroll and Kenneth Heyer completed 351 laps during the 12 hours of racing in the winning car.
Three different Mercedes took turns in the lead of the nine-hour Saturday segment of the two part race. Tom Coronel was the first in front with the #67 GDL Racing entry, he was later caught by Frankenhout.
Great stints and pit work by the Ram Racing team kept them on the lead lap throughout and they were able to take the top spot when Hofor Racing made an extra stop. The lead changed happened during a late race Code 60 period when the Hofor Racing team waited until the fuel depot queue was cleared while the Ram Racing Mercedes was trapped waiting in line.
Mercedes filled the top four spots with the #2 HP Racing entry third and the GDL team recovering to fourth. The top car representing other brands was the fifth place Ferrari of Scuderia Praha.
There was drama in most of the classes, but none more so than in the all-Porsche 997 category.
The final stages boiled down to the #52 MSG Motorsport Porsche leading the #20 MRS GT-Racing team. Luca Rettenbacher took the race ending stint in the #52 with Charles Espenlaub in #20. They swapped the lead several times during the final 15 minutes but on the very last lap at Tarzan Corner, with Rettenbacher ahead by a nose, the two touched and spun. They continued and came home in the original order, with the #62 Porsche Lorient Racing took third place with their Porsche 997 Cup S.
The #160 Lotus Evora of Cor Euser Racing won SP3 and finished a remarkable ninth overall. #170 Speedworks Motorsport finished second and #43 APO Sport third.

It was won by the #91 Ford Focus bodied car after the #92 Mazda 3 had a spin in the late stages and finished second. #150 GC Automobile finished third in SP2. The #73 Bonk Motorsport entry of Michael Schrey and Alexander Mies dominated the all BMW M235i Racing CUP1 class, #69 Securtal Sorg Rennsport finished second and the long-named #70 MissionPossibleBySorgRennsport BMW came home third.
The #205 Team Altran Peugeot 208 GTi won A5 after passing the #75 Hofor-Kuepperracing BMW E46 M3 late in the race. The #112 presenza.eu Racing Team Renault Clio won A2 after steadily building up an unassailable lead. RKS/TGM #99 took the second place and VDS Racing Adventures finished third.
