The two-hour endurance at Slovakia Ring was won by the couple Marcin Jedlinski–Mateusz Lisowski in their Audi R8 LMS GT3 of Olimp Racing team. The Poles controlled the late afternoon race until a comfortable victory without any serious competition.
“I enjoyed the two-hour race and despite a problem in the course of the pit stops Marcin and I managed to return to the lead and control the tempo of the race till the end,“ said the satisfied winner Mateusz Lisowski, finishing the endurance race one lap before the Czechoslovak crew Štefan Rosina and Josef Král in a BMW M6 GT3 of Trevor Racing team. Their loss was caused, to a large extent, by a delay in the pits in the course of the first pit stop.
“In the pits we met a team car arriving to tank right before us and that cost us a lot of time. Otherwise the ride was nice and my cooperation with Štefan was fine,“ described Josef Král the race, with a comment from his team mate Štefan Rosina: “I know Pepa very well from the commentator´s stand at formula 1 races and like at the microphone, at the steering wheel we worked together excellently. My mate was even a little quicker than I,“ laughed Rosina.

They were followed in the ranking by Gregor Zsigo and Lubomír Jakubík in a BMW Alpina B6 GT3, who received the bronze cup in the GT3 category.
