Darren Turner and Tomas Enge extended their dominance in the sixth round of the championship by taking victory in an eventful Championship Race at Nurburgring.

In a frantic start the Sumo Power Nissan GT-R No.23 of Peter Dumbreck had a coming together with the Marc VDS Ford GT No.40 of Bas Leinders. The Nissan GT-R was eliminated, the No.40 sustained heavy damage and limped to the pits while several other cars were caught up in the chaos.

When the dust settled and the field sorted itself out it was the Turner/Enge Aston Martin which made hay while the sun shone in what has been a very wet event to date.

The rain eventually arrived with 25 minutes of the one-hour race remaining. It triggered a scramble to the pit lane for wet tyres and a shake-up of the running order.

Andrea Bertolini, having just taken over from Michael Bartels in the Vitaphone Maserati No.1 opted to stay out on slick tyres even though the track in parts was very wet.

Turner, on wets, chased down the Maserati with 10 minutes remaining to claim the lead. He was followed through by Marc Hennerici in the Phoenix Racing Corvette No.13 for second place.

Third was the Reiter Lamborghini No.24 of Peter Kox and Christopher Haase from the sister car of Ricardo Zonta and Frank Kechele.

The Maserati eventually slipped down the order to finish 10 as the gamble failed to pay off.
