The opening GT Sprint race of the weekend at Grobnik was won by Tomáš Miniberger from the RTR Projects team. He also won the GTC category classification. Miniberger was joined on the overall podium by Jacek Zielonka, the LMP category winner, and Gregor Zsigo, who won in the GT3 classification. Matěj Pavlíček crossed the finish line in 1st place in the GT4 category.
The first GT Sprint race of the weekend showed a dominant performance by Tomáš Miniberger. It also means the first overall win for the KTM X-Bow GTX of RTR Projects in this championship. Miniberger was also classified as the GTC category winner.
Miniberger started from 2nd place, as Gregor Zsigo took pole position. But it was right at the beginning of the race, where the RTR Projects driver took the lead. However, right after that, the race was stopped following the accident of Gábor Kismarty-Lechner and Zoran Kastratovič. That allowed Zsigo to retake the lead for the restart of the race. However, it did not last long and the Trevor Racing driver had to settle for 2nd position again, as Miniberger put on a dominant show.
In the overall classification, Jacek Zielonka in an LMP car finished in 2nd place, taking also a victory in his class. Gregor Zsigo, who took pole position, had to settle for 3rd position, but he had every reason to be happy as he was classified as a winner in his GT3 category.
One of the more notable drivers of the race was also Piotr Wira. He made his way through the field to hold onto 2nd place overall and the GT3 lead for a moment. But in the end, he dropped to 4th position and 2nd place in his category. The GT3 podium was completed by Adam Rzepecki, who could also celebrate 2nd position in the GTC ahead of Petr Brecka.
In the GT4 category, it all looked like Buggyra was heading towards a victorious debut of its new Mercedes-AMG GT4. However, David Vršecký had to settle for 2nd place in the end, as he dropped behind a current championship leader Matěj Pavlíček, who took his 6th victory. Ference Ficza was classified in 3rd place.
