This result elevates Viper Niza Racing to joint 1st place in the overall Michelin 24H European Series standings (GT3-AM Class) with Hofor Racing and HAAS RT at 56 points with three more events to go. The team is also tied for 5th in the overall GT3 Class standings, just 10 points off the leader.

Lining up against a grid of 40 cars, the trio of Douglas Khoo, Dominic Ang and Aaron Lim however, comes away with a small consolation of being the third highest placed team in the overall top 10 finishers driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO, in a field dominated by McLaren, Audi and Porsche.
