Despite a field of only fourteen cars, the first Hankook 24H Slovakia Ring delivered a close fight for the victory until the finish. The race – second round of the Touring Car Endurance Series – was dominated by the TCR-spec SEAT León cars that filled the first four positions in the final classification.
Victory went to the Ferry Monster Autosport team of local drivers Andřej Studenič/Matej Konôpka/Miroslav Horňák/Miroslav Konôpka/Zdeno Mikuláško that beat the Red-Camel Jordans car of Rik Breukers/Ivo Breukers/Klaus Kresnik/Kris Cools by only 20.9 seconds.
In a thrilling final Mikuláško overtook Kresnik for the lead with twenty-two minutes left on the clock.
The NKPP Racing car run by Bas Koeten Racing and driven by Gjis Bessem/Harry Hilders/Simon Gras was classified third, only one lap down.
Bessem and Hilders are now leading the TCES that will come to its end on 23 and 24 September with the 12H Meppen in Germany.
