Markus Groß

Pole to win by 0.13 s after a 30-lap Ferrari 296 duel with Korenjak — controlled the second stint and won at the line, set the fastest lap, all with zero incidents, for the maximum 35 points.

0.13 s at the line

Korenjak led with a lap to go; Groß countered on the final lap, retook the lead and defended The Chase to the flag. Three lead changes, decided at Murray’s Corner.

Markus Groß

2:01.134 on lap 15 — the winner set the fastest lap too, edging his own pole pace.

Alvin Frauenknecht

P4 overall in the Melanzani McLaren 720S with 0 incidents for the AM win and a class-maximum 40 points. AM podium: Frauenknecht, Elias Schleich (P9), Benjamin Warnow (P12).

Mike Girenz

#33 (FRAMIDI, Porsche) climbed from grid P33 to P18 — +15 places, 21 overtakes, zero incidents, merit score 0.867.

Mike Zocher, P3

A lonely, spotless run to the final podium spot — +6.67 s, zero incidents, never in the leaders’ fight but never in trouble either.

⚠️ Four DSQs, three DNFs

CLS disqualified Maurice Becker, Michael Gessner, Djavit Segashi and Christian Hartl; Gradwohl, Meyers and Kaschta retired. The tyres-after-refuel rule bit again — but no safety car all race.

Dry & grey

Rain was rumoured all week but never came — overcast, ~18 °C track, early-morning light on the Mountain. Reigning champion Yannick Wonnenberg sat the round out.

Two Ferraris locked together at the front for the full 30 laps — the Groß/Korenjak lines are inseparable, while Zocher holds a lonely third.

Clean-lap distribution. The Pro front-runners pack into the low 2:01s; the winner and runner-up share almost the same median.

Each orange bar = one completed stop. The tyres-after-refuel sequencing again produced black flags for those who got it wrong.

Every logged telemetry incident by race-time. The leaders kept clean sheets; the busiest phase was the pit window and the mountain descent.

F1-style position track. The lead swaps at the pit stops and again on the last lap; Mike Girenz’s climb from P33 to P18 is the standout mover.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Mike Girenz’s 21 overtakes — the most in the field — earned Driver of the Day.

Where incidents happened, projected onto the real Mount Panorama layout — clustered in the tight mountain section and around The Chase.

Time lost versus the fastest fuel-only stop. Drivers who took extra service or a second stop show the biggest losses.

Top-10 lap-time per lap across the 30-lap race, with the two-stint shape around the mandatory stop.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. Groß and Korenjak light up the chart — 30 laps nose-to-tail.

Zilvio Korenjak

Pole to win, lights to flag — the Ferrari 296 led 55 of the 57 laps and pulled a gap of around 7.6 s, finishing +10.7 s clear with just one incident.

Zilvio Korenjak

1:02.749 — the winner also set the fastest lap of the race, the only 1:02.7 in the field.

Korenjak, Wonnenberg, Gasser

The order held all hour. Reigning Season 12 champion Yannick Wonnenberg (BMW) took P2, Michael Gasser (McLaren) P3.

Alvin Frauenknecht

P6 overall for the AM win in the Melanzani McLaren, ahead of a spotless Elias Schleich (P7, 0 inc) and Dominik Schmitz. AM podium: Frauenknecht, Schleich, Schmitz.

Ricardo Still

#117 (Neon Simsports Blue, AM) climbed from grid P35 to P20 — +15 places, 14 recovered from his low, 25 overtakes, merit score 0.937.

Markus Groß's black flag

Started P6, stretched his stint and briefly ran P1 without pitting — then a black flag and a spin dropped him to P26 with no points.

Very hard to pass

Blind crests and a narrow line made Oran Park a tough overtake — Maurice Becker shadowed the car ahead for half an hour and still couldn't find a way through, finishing P9.

⚠️ One DSQ, black flags

The new tyres-after-refuel pit rule caught several out — black flags for Lukas Zörlaut and Dominique Meyers. Manfred Baar was disqualified. No safety car all race.

Korenjak edged clear from the start and controlled the gap to around 7.6 s. Wonnenberg and Gasser settled into a processional podium.

Clean-lap distribution. The Pro front-runners cluster in the low 1:03s, with Korenjak's median a clear step quicker than the field.

Each orange bar = one completed stop. The new tyres-after-refuel sequencing produced several black flags for drivers who got it wrong.

Every logged telemetry incident with its exact race-time. Elias Schleich kept a clean sheet; the start and the pit window were the busiest phases.

F1-style position track. Korenjak's flat line at the top tells the story; the recovery drives from the back — Ricardo Still, Strebe, Platzer — are the movers.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Ricardo Still's 25 overtakes — the most in the field — earned Driver of the Day on a track where passing was scarce.

Where on the circuit incidents happened, projected onto the real Oran Park layout — concentrated around the twisty bridge section and the tight corners.

Time lost versus the fastest fuel-only stop. Drivers who took extra service or a second stop show the biggest losses on the right.

Top-10 lap-time per lap across the 57-lap race, with the clear two-stint shape around the mandatory stop.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. With overtaking so hard, cars ran nose-to-tail for long stretches — Maurice Becker's stalled chase lights up the chart.

Mike Zocher

Pole to win, lights to flag — the race recorded zero lead changes. The Speed Monkeys BMW M4 led every one of the 32 laps and held Markus Groß off by half a second.

Maurice Becker

1:44.279 — the only sub-1:44.3 of the race. From grid P5 to P3 on the road (M&J Downforce, Porsche), the standout Pro charge of the day.

Zocher, Groß, M. Becker

Covered by just over 7 seconds. Markus Groß (Melanzani, Ferrari) shadowed Zocher all race; Maurice Becker recovered to P3.

Elias Schleich

A huge drive — from grid P22 overall to the AM win (13th overall) with only 2 incidents, in the Prime Racing Team Mercedes. AM podium: Schleich, Warnow, Kiesel.

Christian Kaschta

New this season. #555 (Dat muss Kesseln) gained 11 places (P37→P26), recovered 14 from a P40 low and made 22 overtakes — merit score 0.960. Sponsored coaching from LE Academy.

Micewski & Rajkovic

Both finished with zero incident points — Gregor Micewski (P9 Pro) and newcomer André Rajkovic (P10 Pro, fastest at the Mugello classification event).

One full-course yellow

Just a single caution (three caution laps) across the hour for a 41-car field. Pole-to-flag control for Zocher.

⚠️ Three DSQs

CLS post-race stewarding disqualified Christian Hartl (ran 4th on the road — his registered car didn’t match the car he drove), Alvin Frauenknecht and Mike Girenz. P4 is left vacant in the official order.

Zocher led every lap from pole — the race logged zero lead changes. Groß shadowed him within a second all race; Maurice Becker climbed from grid P5 to close on the podium.

Clean-lap distribution. The Pro front-runners are covered by a couple of tenths — Zocher, Groß and Maurice Becker share near-identical medians around 1:44.4–1:44.6.

Each orange bar = one completed stop. The single mandatory fuel-and-tyre window clusters around mid-distance on the abrasive Glen surface.

Every logged telemetry incident with its exact race-time. Micewski and Rajkovic kept clean sheets; the busiest moments came around the one full-course yellow.

F1-style position track. Zocher’s flat line at the top tells the story; Elias Schleich’s climb from grid P22 to the AM win is the standout recovery. (Telemetry shows on-road order — Hartl ran P4 before his post-race DSQ.)

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Christian Kaschta’s 22 overtakes — the most in the field — earned him the inaugural Driver of the Day.

Where on the circuit incidents happened — clustered through the banked Esses and the tight Inner Loop bus-stop chicane.

Time lost versus the fastest fuel-only stop. Drivers who took extra service or a second stop show the biggest losses on the right.

Top-10 lap-time per lap across the 32-lap race, with the clear two-stint shape around the mandatory stop.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. The Zocher–Groß duel at the front and the dense AM midfield light up the grid.

Lukas Zörlaut

Pole-sitter? No — he started P3. Win and fastest lap in the Mercedes-AMG (NEON Sim Sports Blue), his second victory in a row after Thruxton. Led the run home by +1.39 s.

Lukas Zörlaut

1:25.746 on lap 15 — the only 1:25.7. Mike Zocher was next quickest at 1:25.826, Mario Severn third on 1:25.839.

Zörlaut, Stanzel, Severn

Hendrik Stanzel drove a furious race to P2 (+1.39 s). Mario Severn snatched P3 on the last lap, side-by-side with team-mate Kevin Osiewacz through the Southern Loop.

Justin Christiansen

From AM pole and grid P7, the NEON Sim Sports Blue BMW took the AM win (overall P6) by just 0.46 s over Klaus Oberländer. AM podium: Christiansen, Oberländer, Coldron.

⛽️ Zocher runs dry

Pole-sitter Mike Zocher was running P3 when fuel ran low — his pace fell into the 1:27s and he had to pit on the last lap, dropping from the podium to P9. That gifted P3 to Severn.

Mike Girenz

The only driver in the field with zero incident points (FRAMIDI Racing, Porsche, P5). A model finale drive while the front ran hard.

Zero cautions

Not a single full-course yellow across the hour, despite a heavy crash (Warnow/Baar) and several spins. Two lead changes; the field stayed green to the flag.

🏆 Crowned in S12

Pro: Yannick Wonnenberg (Speed Monkeys, 348 pts) — absent, racing the Le Mans 24h.
AM: Max Coldron (NEON Sim Sports Red).
Teams: Speed Monkeys (570 pts).

Zörlaut took the lead in the second stint and edged away — never headed again. Stanzel reeled Zocher back in after the stops; the das-muss-Kesseln Porsches closed on the podium in the final laps.

Clean-lap distribution. The Pro front-runners are separated by tenths — Zörlaut, Severn and Zocher share almost identical medians.

Each orange bar = one completed stop. The mandatory fuel-and-tyre window clusters near half-distance; Zocher’s late splash-and-dash that cost him the podium is the outlier on the right.

Every logged incident with its exact race-time. Mike Girenz is the lone clean sheet; the back of the field (Warnow, Platzer, Baar) piled up the points without ever triggering a yellow.

F1-style position track. Zörlaut’s climb from grid P3 to a stable lead and Zocher’s last-lap fuel-stop plunge from the podium to P9 are the standout lines.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. The last-lap Severn/Osiewacz swap for P3 and Gregor Micewski’s mid-field recovery show up here.

Where on the circuit incidents happened — clustered through the fast Southern Loop and the blind, downhill Lukey Heights / MG sequence. Track map: OSM-derived Phillip Island geometry from the iRacing Dashboard project.

Time lost versus the fastest fuel-only stop. Useful for spotting who lost the most in the box — including Zocher’s extra late stop.

Top-10 lap-time per lap across the 42-lap race, with the clear two-stint shape around the mandatory stop.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. The four-way scrap for P2 in the first stint and the Severn-vs-Osiewacz duel light up the grid.

Lukas Zörlaut

Fastest lap + win, taken from Wonnenberg in the closing laps after a small contact damaged the Lambo. First WCT win this season, +11.2 s margin over Wonnenberg.

Lukas Zörlaut

1:06.305 on lap 41 in the Mercedes-AMG. Wonnenberg only 51 thousandths slower (1:06.356).

Dennis Ulli Richter

From the Magny-Cours disaster (P13, “the suitcase”) all the way to P4 at Thruxton — the Speed Monkeys’ Aston Martin found its window.

Mike Girenz

The only driver in the entire field to finish with zero incident points (FRAMIDI Racing, Porsche, P10). Hendrik Stanzel next-cleanest in the front with just 3 incidents to P5. Zörlaut took 6 incidents including the late contact but won anyway.

Zero cautions

Not a single yellow-flag period the entire race — cleanest 1-hour GT3 WCT we’ve seen this season. Confirms the new iRaceControl restart procedure is working.

☀️ Dry, 25 °C track

Air 19,2 °C · Track 25,2 °C · Skies partly cloudy · Dry (wetness 1). Cool British evening — perfect for a fast circuit.

Zörlaut built the gap progressively and never gave it back. The Speed Monkeys 2-3 (Wonnenberg, Zocher) was contested but stable.

Clean-lap distribution. Zörlaut’s spread is the tightest — pure pace dominance.

Each orange bar = one completed pit stop. Mandatory window visible as the cluster, with a few drivers stopping twice for repairs.

Every incident with exact race-time. Only Mike Girenz (P10) finished with zero incidents; the field actually piled up heavy incident counts across the hour, but never enough density to trigger a yellow-flag period.

F1-style position track. Dennis Ulli Richter’s climb to P4 is the standout line.

Green = overtakes made, red = passes lost. Zörlaut’s net total reflects the one decisive pass on Wonnenberg in the closing laps.

Where on the circuit incidents happened. Cluster around Cobb/Seagrave at the top (the sharpest sequence on the lap) plus the Goodwood/Village complex on the right. Track outline traced from the published Thruxton layout.

Time lost vs. the fastest fuel-only stop. Useful for spotting where strategic time was won or lost in the box.

Top-10 lap-time per lap across the 54-lap race.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of each other. Wonnenberg vs. Zocher and the AM-class battle for P6-P9 stand out.

Yannick Wonnenberg

Took pole, set the fastest lap, won by +1.48 s after 37 laps — the closest WCT win of the season. Best lap: 1:36.791.

Yannick Wonnenberg

The pole-sitter also set the quickest lap of the race: 1:36.791 on lap 20 in the Lamborghini. Kevin Osiewacz was within 80 thousandths.

1 DNF, 2 DNS

Only Chistian Schlosser (P21, 34 laps) failed to finish; Maurice Becker and Antonio Cursio could not start (ISP outage / wheelbase failure).

Mike Girenz

The cleanest classified drive of the day — zero incident points across 37 laps, home in P8.

Christoph Kiesel

20 incident points after an early off and a drive-through penalty for repeated track limits — still classified P20.

4 short cautions

Four brief yellow-flag periods during the race — all under 3 seconds — the new iRaceControl restart procedure delivered a clean start with no first-corner chaos.

☀️ Dry, 27 °C track

Air 21.0 °C · Track 27.0 °C · Skies partly cloudy · Dry (wetness 1). Warm summer evening; several drivers reported cockpit overheating during the broadcast.

Top 8 highlighted — the pit cycle around lap 20 reshuffles the field, then the top three converge for a 2.5 second finish.

Clean-lap distribution per driver, pit-affected and slow laps excluded via iRaceControl's slow_lap markers. Yannick Wonnenberg had the tightest pace window (stdev 0.53 s over 34 clean laps) — pole, fastest lap, win and most consistent.

Each orange bar = one completed pit stop, width proportional to time in pit. The mandatory pit window (highlighted, ~minute 34–38) is where the bulk of the field made their single 33–37 s strategic stop. Long bars (Klaus Oberlaender 200 s, Christoph Kiesel 187 s, Chistian Schlosser 135 s) are damage-repair time, not strategic choices.

Every on-track incident with exact race-time and type. Most of the drama played out in the final 5 minutes — Benjamin Schlosser’s late collisions (connectivity), Dennis Ulli Richter’s spin trio, Chistian Schlosser’s 4-spin sequence into his DNF. Christoph Kiesel’s drive-through black flag is visible at minute 30. The top 4 finishers got through almost incident-free.

F1-style position track per lap. The pit-cycle reshuffle around lap 20-23 is visible as the big crisscross; the top trio reconvenes by lap 25.

Green = overtakes made, red = passes lost. Dirk Bolte made the most net gains (+7), Benjamin Schlosser was passed most often (net -8, connectivity-driven). The Speed Monkeys 1-2 (Wonnenberg + Zocher) finished with net 0 each — pace control, not racecraft.

Where on the circuit each incident happened. The Lycée-and-Chateau-d’Eau complex (upper right) and the technical S-section (centre) absorbed the most drama.

Time lost vs. the field’s fastest fuel-only stop (Mike Zocher, 32.9 s). Wonnenberg and Richter only 1 s slower; Mike Girenz lost 8.7 s in the box — a chunk of his race-pace advantage gone in 30 seconds.

Top-10 lap-time per lap. The pit-stop spikes around lap 22 are visible; the second-stint pace is noticeably stronger than the first for the leaders.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of each other. Wonnenberg vs. Zocher tops the matrix — the entire race within a second. Top-AM pair Christiansen-Coldron also spent many laps in each other’s windows.

Maurice Becker

Took the win by +41.85s after 25 laps — his best tour of the race was 2:22.193.

Mike Zocher

Set the quickest lap of the race: 2:21.669 on lap 16.

7 cars retired

Only 25 of 32 starters were still running when the flag fell.

Mike Girenz

The cleanest classified drive of the day — just 3 incident points, home in P5.

Christoph Kiesel

A brutal afternoon — 52 incident points and 8 pit visits, yet still classified P24.

69 pit visits

29 penalties and 4 yellow-flag periods across roughly an hour of racing.
