Monday was considerably more damp than the sessions on Saturday, making the circuit even more challenging as drivers had to cope with standing water in the many dips that are found at Oulton Park.

Things heated up in the closing stages, as a battle developed between 5 cars for the bottom spot on the podium. And who said GT racing was boring?

With two Ferraris trailing behind, of Rosso Verde and MTech respectively, both charging through the 5 car train to take the podium positions.
GT4 class victory went to Team WFR and the pilots Jody Fannin and Warren Hughes after a brilliant drive and a gap of over 40 seconds.
