A young Ayrton Senna took victory in the #11 machine ahead of Niki Lauda in #18 and Carlos Reutemann in #4. Reports from the event say that Hans Hermann had negotiated a deal to buy his car after the event so he happily stayed in last place so as to not damage his brand new Mercedes.

Mini GT have announced a special production of EVERY car from this race in one special package, limited to only 5,000 units world wide. The full grid will not be produced individually. Only these 5,000 sets will be made.
