The suspense was constant throughout the Endurance Cup at RKC. The last of the 12 hours of racing was particularly competitive. Some consternation accompanied the fall of a few drops of rain 30 minutes from the end, but it did not last. CG Racing Pro had widened the gap in the morning by running longer stitsthan his opponents. The No. 1 kart was therefore four laps ahead of PFV two hours before the finish. However, Batelco Racing, then 6th, had already made nine of its 10 mandatory stops. In the manner of the hare and the turtle, Batelco went back up the standings while CG Racing Pro stopped several times along the way. Modave Racing PPS and PFV joined in the final fight and there was an incredibly tight finish between the four teams on the same lap.
Already crowned in 2013, Batelco Racing (Saeed Al Mehairi / Ramez Azzam / Mohd Mattar / Bahrain International) won 28″ ahead of CG Racing Pro (Piers Pakenham-Walsh / David Terrien / Alban Varutti / Dubai Autodrome) PPS (Damiano Marchesan / Gregory Morin / Fabio Paoleschi / East Belgium Action) and PFV (Edgard Kannah / Marco Zipoli / Fun Race) finished 3rd and 4th less than five seconds apart after 12 hours of racing and 647 laps completed.
