In the closing stages, the Invicta Racing driver closed back in on Martins to take second place but couldn’t catch race winner Duerksen before the end.
Martins slipped off the podium on the final lap as Richard Verschoor of MP Motorsport made the most of the alternative strategy.

The Dutch driver started on the Medium Pirelli tyres before making a late mandatory stop and switch to the Supersofts. Having been several seconds quicker per lap, he caught Martins on the penultimate lap, with the ART driver running wide at the final corner.
Verschoor came through at Turn 1 to take the place and complete the final podium of the season in third.
Along with Bortoleto’s Drivers’ title success, Invicta secured the Teams’ title with the result, completing the sweep in 2024.
