Race day was wet, or to be more precise race morning was very wet.  Ni starting from his eight place, finished the first lap in third and he took only a further three laps to take the lead.

The car was obviously very good in the wet as he had no problem in increasing his lead to 20 seconds at the pit stop. A further 10 seconds was gained during the stop but 30 seconds became only 3 when the officials called Luis back to the pit lane for a stop-go penalty - he had exceeded the speed limit on his way out of the pits and had lost all the advantage built up.  However he managed to stay ahead of his hard challenging adversary Carlos Palau who finished the same 3 seconds back some 14 laps later.  Everyone was very relieved that Luis had recovered from the error and we had another Spanish GT Championship win.

By the time of the pit stops Luis was some 10 seconds back from the Mustang and 25 seconds behind the Marcos, but another excellent stop reduced the deficit to only 5 seconds behind the Mustang.  The Marcos had its second driver, Buurman on board, who was no match for Ni Amorim.  Another win was definitely there for the taking.

Unfortunately Ni became over-exuberant and clouted a kerb with the underside of the car and removed the crank sensor resulting in the car stopping with 9 laps to go.
