A BMW M Customer Racing car has won the 8 Hours of Indianapolis.

Walkenhorst Motorsport has claimed a one-two in the second of four races that make up this season's Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC).

The BMW M6 GT3 had already made a clear statement of intent in qualifying, with pole position for Catsburg, De Phillippi and Farfus, and third place on the grid for their teammates.

The race saw flawless performances from all the drivers, despite rain and some difficult conditions in the first few hours, and they soon established themselves at the front of the field.

Changing track conditions made tyre selection tricky, but the team made all the right decisions. The fact that the opposition were struggling with issues meant that both BMW M6 GT3s were able to control the race in the closing stages and secure a memorable one-two.

This was Walkenhorst Motorsport's maiden victory in the team's second full season in the IGTC. For Catsburg, who tasted success at the Nurburgring with ROWE Racing last weekend, this was the second win in a week. After failing to finish the season-opener at Bathurst back in February, this victory puts regular drivers Catsburg and Farfus right back in the title race, along with team-mates Pittard and Tomczyk, who did not start at Bathurst.
