Andrea Bertolini and Michael Bartels trailed home Ramos and Negrao in the sister Vitaphone car. Bertolini and Bartels lost out under the safety car, however, the four points scored means that the 2006 champions are now in sole command of the GT1 Drivers classification, with a two point lead over Wendlinger/Sharp, Bouchut/Xavier Maassen and Mike Hezemans / Fabrizio Gollin, all of whom have 22 points.
Hezemans and Gollin, who won the last event in Italy, were unlucky to finish sixth after a late spin and their speed was obvious, as witnessed by Hezemans' fastest race lap set on lap 32.
Monza winners Bouchut and Maassen in the SRT Corvette were seventh despite two drive-through penalties, while Larbre Competition's Vincent Vosse and Greg Franchi took the final point in their Saleen S7R.
JMB-Maserati's Ben Aucott and Alain Ferté and Peka Racing's Anthony Kumpen and Bert Longin completed the top ten.
In GT2, AF Corse put in another dominant performance and despite carrying the maximum penalty weight, Toni Vilander and Gianmaria Bruni took their third win of the year, leading from the pole and only pit stops allowed other cars to briefly take the lead.
As the car was already carrying the maximum penalty weight of 50 kg, this win takes them up to the 'superweight' category of 75 kg. However, as the next round is Spa, where no penalty weight is carried, they will have a reprieve - but the weight could be quite painful on the Bucharest city track.
"The car handled really well and we had an aggressive strategy for the race," Vilander commented. "It worked well to get us our third win of the year. Gimmi is also in top form and did a wonderful qualifying."
The crew of the #51 car, Thomas Biagi and Christian Montanari, claimed their second successive second place, but have so far been unable to catch their team-mates. However, this result maintains Biagi’s excellent record in Oschersleben, with five podium finishes out of five races, including three wins.
