BS+HYBRID overcame early damage to win the penultimate round of the 2026 24H Series Esports season on 4 October. Denes and Staut completed 272 laps in the #90 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, finishing 6.722 seconds ahead of Dániel Oláh and David Toth in UNI-G Racing’s #26 BMW.

Tim Matzke and Ryan van de Grijp completed the overall podium for Maniti Racing Green, whose #78 Ferrari 296 GT3 had been in contention for victory before a late spin. SOELPEC Precision Racing finished fourth through Tom Reiher and Alex Gal, with Thomas Labouteley and Lucas Hermann taking fifth in the #89 BS+COMPETITION BMW, one lap behind the winners.

Managing traffic and preserving the car proved decisive on Adelaide’s narrow street circuit. Denes explained in the post-race interview that BS+HYBRID had sustained damage during its first encounter with traffic and carried that damage through the remainder of the race.

Staut attributed the recovery in part to an early decision to double-stint tyres throughout. That approach helped the team regain time against rivals on older rubber and maintain pressure in the closing stages.

BS+HYBRID passed Maniti Racing Green for the lead in the final hour. Matzke subsequently spun in the Turn 2–3 sequence with around seven minutes remaining, and UNI-G Racing secured second ahead of the Ferrari.

Contact interrupts the GT3 title fight

Grid-and-Go’s #1 BMW arrived in Adelaide with a two-point advantage over BS+COMPETITION in the published standings after Portimão. Their battle on track ended with contact between Sven Haase and Hermann in the Turn 4–6 sequence.

Hermann spun in the collision. On the following lap, Haase suffered further damage in a separate incident at Turn 2, and Grid-and-Go retired its car after completing 125 laps.

A 60-second hold penalty followed for BS+COMPETITION over the initial contact. Labouteley and Hermann recovered to fifth, but neither championship contender reached the podium.

The retirement does not automatically translate into a decisive championship loss for Grid-and-Go: each entry can discard its lowest score from the opening five rounds. The 12-hour Silverstone finale must count, making the retained results crucial to the title fight.

Grid-and-Go takes Porsche Cup honours

There was a stronger outcome for Grid-and-Go’s #901 Porsche Cup entry. Gunonso Tasdelen and Adrian Gericke completed 270 laps to win their class and finish tenth overall, ahead of several GT3 cars.

Their Porsche 911 Cup (992.2) also briefly led the race outright during the GT3 pit-stop cycles. At the finish, they had completed one more lap than class runners-up Pascal Costa and Ross O’Connor in the #915 Impulse Racing entry.

Maxence Godiinho and Corentin Lassine finished third for Bleu Mercure Esport, two laps behind the class winners.

The result strengthened Grid-and-Go’s championship challenge. Contrary to the supplied briefing, the #901 entry had entered Adelaide second in the published Porsche Cup standings, four points behind Bleu Mercure, rather than as the class leader.

Team75 wins despite rear-wing damage

Adam J Isaksson and Gareth Higgins secured Team75 Bernhard by SimRC’s fourth GT4 victory of the season in the #475 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR.

The pair regained the class lead from Byte.Collino Max and survived a collision with a spinning car that cost them their rear wing. They completed 250 laps, one more than both the second-placed #444 Byte.Collino Max entry and third-placed #488 Team Checkmate Wolak Group.

Higgins explained afterwards that Team75 had retained its usual double-stint tyre strategy. He said rivals attempting triple stints lost significant pace on their oldest tyres, allowing the championship-leading entry to make up ground.

The season concludes with the 12 Hours of Silverstone on 31 October 2026.
