> Greater Bay Area GT Cup result | Final championship standings
Daniel Lu survived a race of attrition at Macau to win the SRO GT Cup's season finale for Team Pegasus and Lotus despite starting third on the grid.
Series champion Han Lichao (TGR China) and Liu Kai Shun (Team Pegasus) completed the podium after the 10-lap race finished ceremonially following the third and final Safety Car period.
But there was disappointment for Darryl O'Young (Craft-Bamboo) who crashed out of his final-ever race whilst running second. The same accident also accounted for Moritz Berrenberg, which handed Am victory to Ian Leong whose Son Ven Racing Team BMW finished fourth overall.
Three Safety Car periods made for a stop-start encounter that Lu effectively settled on the initial run to Lisboa. His Emira started behind pole man Han and O'Young but passed both around the outside of the fast Hotel Mandarin kink as the Toyota and Mercedes-AMG squabbled.
O'Young pushed the Supra down to third in the same move before the first Safety Car was called to cover a three-car accident that occurred just after the start.
Racing briefly resumed on lap four only for O'Young to crash out at the foot of San Francisco Hill after apparently tagging the inside wall. Han reacted fast enough to skirt around the stricken Mercedes-AMG, but Berrenberg - running fourth at the time - was less lucky and piled into the rear.
Three laps remained by the time the Safety Car was withdrawn. But, again, any meaningful action was only brief before the race was neutralised once again. This time it was Chen Chun Hua's Mercedes-AMG that clouted the wall exiting R Corner, which effectively ended the race as a contest.
However, the brief racing window did provide one moment of significance when Liu passed Leong around the outside heading into Lisboa, which secured third place overall for Pegasus's other Lotus.
Kao Tzu Lung (Level Motorsports) and Wang Hao (TGR China) completed the top six, while Chuang Chi Shun (Level Motorsports) and Cao Qikuan (TGR China) rounded out the Am class podium finishers in seventh and eighth.
