Qualifying Two qualifying sessions were run on Saturday 9 February with Danish driver Allan Simonsen setting the fastest time of 2:05.49 in the Maranello Motorsport entered Ferrari 458 GT3. However, as penalties are applied for lap times recorded under 2:06 minutes to provide a form of parity, the car lost the lap time and acquired a 50 kg penalty. Race Driving a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG for Erebus Motorsport, Germans Thomas Jäger, Alexander Roloff and former Formula One driver Bernd Schneider were the winners, covering 268 laps. The Ferrari 458 GT3 of Craig Baird, Matt Griffin and Weng Sun Mok finished a lap behind in second, with Griffin setting the fastest lap of the race with a lap of 2:06.8714. Finishing in third place was the VIP Petfoods Porsche 997 GT3-R of Matt Kingsley, Klark Quinn and Shane van Gisbergen. A late afternoon rain storm caused havoc in the field as it started suddenly and most cars took a few laps to pit for wet weather tyres. Shane van Gisbergen, driving the Quinn Porsche, excelled in the wet conditions, passing several drivers across the top of the circuit despite the conditions. There were a number of safety cars in the wet conditions which caused the leaders to close up, with slower, lapped cars mixed in between. At one restart the #63 Erebus Motorsport SLS, which had been in contention for most of the race, clipped the #60 Lotus Elise and damaged the steering. The car was repaired but lost multiple laps, eventually finishing in sixth place. Early in the day the two Aston Martins, Tony Quinn's DBRS9 in GT3 Class A, and the St Gallen Vantage GT4 of Baenziger, Kamelger and Porritt in Class C, had a coming together at the top of Conrod Straight. Quinn's race was ended and the Vantage GT4 recommenced racing, albeit many laps down. The #22 FPV FG GT of Robinson Racing Developments broke a supercharger pulley late in the day. The car was repaired using a part taken off a road car belonging to a crowd member, allowing the team to finish the race. The car recommenced racing in the last five laps and the team returned the borrowed part following the end of the race.
