Marco Werner and Lucas Luhr take victory at Mosport as late drama hits LMP2.

At a track where incidents can happen often, Melo and Salo drove a perfect race for what seems like the first time this year in the Series. They won eight times last season - including at Mosport - on their way to the class championship. Their only other victory this year was at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

"It's amazing after a very tough year," Melo admitted. "We showed that we are very competitive at every race but we couldn't finish on the top position. We finally got it. It's something we've known we'd be able to do all week. The Michelin tires were amazing and we could turn very good lap times. It was a good race all day with many cars. I'm really happy to be on the top of the podium."

Werner and Pierre Kaffer finished second in the Farnbacher Loles Racing Porsche. Class championship leaders Jörg Bergmeister and Wolf Henzler finished third for Flying Lizard Motorsports in their Porsche.
