Rain has been the big story since our last update and has caught a number of drivers out while still racing on slicks. Including former race leader Christopher Mies in the #2 Team Phoenix Audi R8 LMS, who crashed out at Pflantzgarten not long after the rain began to fall. The car is back out again now but lost five laps while being repaired.

The #22 Rowe Racing Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is now in lead having completed 103 laps. There are five other cars still on the lead lap, including two Audis, two Porsches and a BMW.

As we type this update the #214 BMW with two Aussies and a Kiwi in the crew has crabbed its way back into the pits and went straight into the garage. They were running fourth in class.

Meanwhile the #70 BMW M3 GT4 with Paul Stubber (AUS) in the team has worked its way to the top of the SP 10 class.

We’ll check back in another four hours, where we should start to have a clearer picture as to who may win. Remember you can keep an eye on the placings via the official live timing feed.
