Article 17 of the regulations for RCN regularity tests states: "In the event of a tie in points, the lower number of penalty points in the first confirmation round, in the second confirmation round, etc.". Race director Jürgen Seidel had to apply this rule several times at the Venntrophy of MC Roetgen. Three times the timekeeping recorded the same number of points after the finish for two teams within the top 10. 

Even at the drivers' briefing early on Saturday morning, it was clear that there was going to be a hot event on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. An absolutely cloudless sky over the Eifel race track and temperature forecasts of around 30 degrees drove the one or other participant the beads of sweat on the forehead even before the start. At 8 a.m. on the dot, the race director sent the motley field of 119 vehicles, from youngtimers to Teslas, out onto the track. 

The first big surprise came after the first confirmation lap: With 0.1 penalty points, the rookies Stefan Jacobs (Aachen) and Justin Schumacher (Hennef) in the Ford Puma led the time table. P2 was followed by number 2, father and son Harald Ezaru (Pforzheim) in the BMW 330 ci with 0.2 points ahead of Dominik Geibert (Enspel) and Thorsten Fasel (Kaden) in the BMW 318is with 0.3 points.

At the refuelling break, Ezaru / Ezaru had moved up to first place with a total of 0.8 points. They were followed by Oliver and Udo von Fragstein (Leichlingen/Leverkusen), another father-and-son team with 1.0 points, and, now with 1.1 points, the rookies Stefan Jacobs and Justin Schumacher.

As the event progressed, the temperatures in the cars rose, which led to avoidable mistakes by various participants. Nevertheless, 101 out of 119 started cars reached the finish line. Among them were Monika and Falk Mellentin (Mönchengladbach), who started for the first time with the new blue and orange BMW 318 ti compact. After an eighth and a third place in the first two rounds of the season, the two, who compete for DAMC 05, finished tenth this time with 6.8 points (0.9/0.7/0.3/2.3/1.4/1.2). 
P9 went to Karin and Winfried Schlüter in the red Mini JCW with 6.7 points (1.0/1.0/0.4/1.8/1.9/0.6). Just ahead, with 6.6 points, were Dominik Geibert and Thorsten Fasel for AC Mayen in the ADAC in eighth place.

Seventh and sixth place were secured by the two best rookie teams - tied with 6.3 penalty points! But since Nadine Philipp and Sebastian Anding (Honda Accord) finished the first round with 1.3 penalty points, they had to settle for seventh place (1.3/2.4/0.3/0.2/1.1/1.0). After finishing P23 twice in the first two GLP runs, this is a strong result for the two drivers from Blaufelden. Sixth place was secured by Stefan Jacobs and Justin Schumacher due to the better result in the first confirmation round (0,1/0,9/0,1/0,5/2,8/1,8).

Their best result of the season so far was achieved by Konstantin Krasnoperov (Munich) and Axel Theiling (Karlsfeld) in the BMW 325i. After a ninth and a 22nd place, this time 6.1 points (1.2/0.2/2.3/1.4/0.3/0.7) were enough for P5.

Equal points also on P4 and P3, with fourth place (1.3/1.2/1.0/0.4/0.4//0.7) taken by Jennifer and Steven Ostrowski (Essen). Despite the good results with the husky AMG Mercedes A45 in the first two races of the season (fourth and fifth place), Steven Ostrowski is not yet completely satisfied: "Jenny did a fantastic job of stopping the times. But the car and I are not yet one. We'll get that right, though."

Gorden Völksen (Barsinghausen) and Mario Bremer (Wiesbaden) also showed an upward trend. After a fifteenth and a seventh place, the two Golf drivers competing for the ADAC Lower Saxony/Saxony-Anhalt finished the current GLP in third place with 5.0 points (1.0/0.2/0.6/0.2/0.6/2.4). 

Second place, equal on points with the day's winners, went to the winners of the first two GLP heats, Oliver and Udo von Fragstein in the Ford Puma. Only 1.7 penalty points (0.4/0.1/0.5/0.3/0.1/0.3) were a top result for the von Fragsteins. However, as Article 17 of the GLP regulations is applied in the event of a points tie, the victory went to Harald Ezaru and his father Harald Ezaru senior (0.2/0.1/0.5/0.1/0.5/0.3). 

In the rookie classification, Stefan Jacobs (Aachen) and Justin Schumacher (Hennef) won in the Ford Puma, as in the last round, ahead of Nadine Philipp and Sebastian Anding from Blaufelden in the Honda Accord. Both the Puma team (10.8 points in the last round) and the Honda drivers (15.5 points) were able to improve their result considerably with 6.3 points this time.

In the RCN Green Challenge, Thomas Overbeck (Tönisvorst) and Uwe Reichle (Recke) in the Renault Zoe again secured the title, this time with 26.3 points (9.5/11.9/4.9) ahead of Bastian Reitmeyer (Fuldatal) and Erik Schilb (Reichenburg/Switzerland) in the Tesla with 268.3 points (18.5/248.6/1.2).

The "Ü30er" team (von Fragstein / von Fragstein, Ostrowski / Ostrowski, Geibert / Fasel, Bernards / Bernards and Wenzel / Knipp) was successful in the team classification with 28.81 points. The "Team Null Runde" (Ezaru / Ezaru, Schlüter / Schlüter and Dedekind / Meier) followed in second place with 28.11 points.
