The Porsche 997 Cup S racecar shared by the three experienced drivers dominated the class although an engine problem in the early stages of the 200 miles (3 hours). The GDL Racing team made an extraordinary job and let Bagnasco-Bravetti-Mardini to recover as they claimed the final ninth place.
It was the first win for Mardini – who also manged to score the fastest lap of his class – at his very first appearance at the Santerno track, one year after he made his debut with the San Marino based squad.
