In the drivers’ standings of the super sports car league, the duo of Engel and Stolz kept the battle for the title open until the final race: with a strong performance on the final weekend, they secured third place in the final drivers’ standings and sealed third place in the teams’ standings for Toksport WRT.

Strakka Racing claimed a fifth-place finish in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup at the team’s home race of Silverstone on 12 May 2019. Outstanding drives from Dev Gore, Lewis Williamson and Jack Hawksworth meant the Northamptonshire-based outfit climbed an incredible 36 places during the course of the three-hour race following a 41st-place start. On the penultimate lap, the #43 Mercedes-AMG GT3 was running in third and set for a podium finish but contact in the battle for the chequered flag cost the team two places.
