The all-female car Bovy shared with Rahel Frey and Michelle Gatting still appeared a contender for victory and led following the restart, but a slow right-rear change at what proved to be the penultimate stop dropped Gatting behind Perera, before she too had to make a late splash while pressuring Bachler for second. The Dames ultimately placed fourth, ahead of the McLaren Saucy shared with James Cottingham and Nicolas Costa.
