At the Nürburgring, the Luxembourger celebrated a commanding start-to-finish victory. At the tenth round of the season, second and third place went to Porsche Junior Laurin Heinrich (Germany/SSR Huber Racing) and Dutchman Loek Hartog (Black Falcon). A total of 23,500 visitors experienced the race weekend live on site and thus set a new attendance record for the ADAC GT Masters event in the Eifel. Under a blue sky and at 22 degrees Celsius, Pereira in his 375 kW (510 hp) Porsche 911 GT3 Cup decided two key scenes: At the beginning, the 25-year-old converted pole position into a lead and at the restart after a safety Car phase, Pereira held the lead. After 21 laps, the driver from Schouweiler in Luxembourg was the first to see the checkered flag.

Hartog was delighted with his third podium this season. The driver from the one-make cup talent pool program dropped from third to fifth position after the start, but fought his way back into the top three. A pentathlon for fourth place caused a spectacle. The three youngsters Bastian Buus (Denmark/Allied-Racing), Morris Schuring (Netherlands/SSR Huber Racing) and Huub van Eijndhoven (Netherlands/GP Elite) challenged Saturday's winner ten Voorde and his compatriot Max van Splunteren (Team GP Elite). After several position changes, the order in the end was Schuring ahead of Buus, ten Voorde, van Splunteren and van Eijndhoven.
