Nail-biting second Gentlemen win of the season for Dominic Jöst and Florian Scholze racing the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 (MRS GT-Racing) in the ADAC GT Masters at the Red Bull Ring. After encountering technical problems on Friday and Saturday, the Nissan drivers' wish for a trouble-free race was granted. Jöst/Scholze drove to their second win of the season ahead of Corvette driver Remo Lips (RWT Racing Team). Jakub Knoll (Senkyr Motorsport) placed third in the Gentlemen class, aided by Lennart Marioneck.

Scholze was hemmed in at the first turn at the start and had to relinquish the lead in the Gentlemen class to Lips' team-mate Sven Barth, but the Nissan driver swiftly worked his way up the field once again. After the driver changeover, Jöst continued to hunt down the Corvette now driven by Lips and the Nissan overtook the Corvette 20 minutes before the end of the race. The order remained unchanged at the chequered flag. Marc Gassner in the second Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 (MRS GT-Racing) came home in fourth place behind Jakub Knoll in the BMW. Gassner's team mate Florian Strauss had a technical problem at the start and dropped down a lap. The winner of the Nissan GT Academy driver development programme was subsequently unable to pull back the lap. Bad luck for Andreas Weishaupt, who did not get to see any action after his team-mate Christer Jöns was forced to retire the Audi R8 LMS ultra (C Abt Racing) after a contact during the start.

Florian Scholze was relieved to win: "At the start, I saw a wide gap in the middle, but then I got hit from behind and shunted into a car in front. I was worried that my race was over, but I found that I was able to continue after all. From then on, the race was a lot of fun. After the problems yesterday, we were just happy that the car kept going."

Dominic Jöst: "We weren't sure whether the car would go the distance, but everything worked OK. Towards the end, I was tailing a Bentley, but I was unable to overtake because my tyres were shot."

Remo Lips was pleased with second place on Sunday after his win on Saturday. "Two P7 finishes, one victory and a second place in the Gentlemen class - that’s not a bad haul for the weekend."
