Only 11 of the 27 starters made the finish after a race blighted by incidents, causing several teams to work into the night to repair damaged cars for qualifying on Sunday.
Such was the damage inflicted on Esteban Muth’s Walkenhorst BMW and the Grasser Lamborghini of Franck Perera, after Muth was rammed by Perera’s teammate Alessio Deledda approaching Turn 1 and sent spinning at unabated speed into Perera, that both have been forced to withdraw from the meeting.
