Mark started from P3, but then caught up to the leading Audis. Going into lap 7, he overtook the number 8 Audi improving to second. After 16 laps he got by the number 7 Audi as well as taking the lead. After 27 laps he handed over to Brendon Hartley for a double stint. With a comfortable lead of 44 seconds ahead of Audi number 7, Hartley came in for fuel and tyres after 55 laps. On lap 71 the race is over for the reigning World Champions, because of a heavy accident when lapping a GT car.
“I did the first 27 laps and had a good and interesting stint,” said Mark after the race. “In the beginning the Audi was really strong, but then I was able to catch up, get passed and create a gap. Our car was very good today and we clearly have lost out on a good score here.”
