On Saturday during a meeting with organisers and team managers it was decided that the start of the race was moved up to 10.45 hrs as the morning showed less chance of a lot of rain. But a lot of rain came down anyway. Just into the third hour the race was red flagged. The #13 LMP3 with Martin Hippe behind the wheel was, after a shunt, back in 12^thplace. Scheuschner in the #14 had hit the tyre wall after aqua planning. It finished 15^th. Half points were given as the 75% of the race time was not reached. The team is still 5^thin the championship.

The race started behind the safety car for four laps. After the green flag Kuba Smiechowski in the #13 LMP3 moved up to 10^th. Going into the second hour Smiechowski was sixth and Scheuscher in ninth position.

Scheuschner came in for fuel, went out and to fall back to 14^th. Martin Hippe got into the #13 with just over two and a half hours to go. He dropped down to 10^th. In the meantime, conditions got worse and luck ran out. The #13 LMP3 got hit by the #7 car in turn 1, spun and then got get hit by the #5 car. Scheuschner in the #14 went aqua planning at Blanchimont, left the track and hit the tyre wall. Both cars made it back to the pit box at about the same time. The #13 had less damage and could leave again with a new left rear tyre and a repaired left rear rain light. The #14 was more severly damaged. Then the race was red flagged. The #13 of Smiechowski and Hippe finished in 12^thplace, the #14 of Scheuschner, Müller-Crepon and Demarchi, still in the pit box, finished in 15^thplace.

Paul Scheuschner:“Today was an extremely tricky day but the race director took all the right decisions. At the start, I only picked up the pace when I had not too many cars in front of me as I couldn’t see anything. I was very lucky to have Moritz as my teammate this weekend as he gave me some good tips of how to drive in the rain. When I came to Blanchimont where you normally can go flat out, I aqua planed and went off. I came onto the grass and had no change to avoid hitting the tyre wall. I still enjoyed it out there on the track. I am always happy with the opportunity to race in the rain and get the chance to develop my skills. I hope for a better result in the last race. I really like the Portimao track and look forward to this.”

Martin Hippe:“I only had a short time in the car and got hit on my second lap. The team did a good job to repair the car and send me out after a very short time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fight my way back up the leader board because of the heavy rain and the long safety car period. Anyway, the decision to red flag the race was right as I already did aqua planing behind the safety car.”
