When the red lights were switched off, Marcos Siebert (Jenzer Motorsport) sprang into action and immediately gained quite a competitive lead over his rivals: 3 seconds in three rounds over his teammate Van Uitert.
From the seventh starting position, a very determined Raul Guzman (DR Formula) gained ground and was able to move into third place already by lap three. A good tussle involved Valentin Hasse Clot (Kiteviola Motorsport) who defended his sixth place, although in the end he finished 18th. Shlom (4th), Vips (5th) and Baiz (6th) were among those who overtook him.
However, the battle heated up for the top positions: Guzman overtook Van Uitert (struggling with a car oversteer) on the eighth lap and started to catch up with Siebert in first place. On the tenth lap the two attacked and a real battle started. At the end of the twelfth round, Guzman took the lead and stayed there until the end.
Juri Vips (Prema Power Team), in fifth place overall, was first in the Rookie Trophy, followed by Giacomo Altoè (Bhaitech), in seventh place overall, and Ian Rodriguez (DRZ Benelli), who finished eighth. Fabienne Wohlwende (Aragon Racing) won the Woman Trophy.
