At the end of the three-hour race (Saturday 14th), Piergiuseppe Perazzini, Federico Leo and Marco Cioci took third place in the GTE category in their Ferrari 458 #55.

Same step on the podium in the GTC category for teammates Andrea Rizzoli, Stefano Gai and Lorenzo Casè in the 458 #62; the Italian trio also had secured pole position.

Due to an incident with the BMW Z4 driven by Twyman, the AF Corse Ferrari 458 #54 – with the Bronze trio of Howard Blank, Yannick Mallegol and Jean Marc Bachelier – was forced to retire after 73 positive laps raced.

In the Championship standing, Rizzoli-Gai-Casè are in second position of the GTC (with 70 points) and with a gap from the top of just five points, there is the real possibility of winning the championship in the last race of the 2013 ELMS at Paul Ricard, September 27th. Perazzini, Cioci and Leo are fourth in GTE standing on 51 points.

Blank, Mallegol and Bachelier have the eleventh spot (12 points). Team standing: AF Corse is second in the GTC and fourth in the GTE.
