Stolz finished third in the second of the two races at the Dutch venue on Sunday, holding off two-time champion Wittmann by just 0.249s in a tense battle for the final spot on the podium.
Stolz was running behind Wittmann in the first stint but jumped his countryman by pitting a lap later, with his HRT crew servicing his Mercedes-AMG GT3 in 7.9s compared to the 9.3s it took for the Project 1 team to change all four tyres on Wittmann’s BMW.
