Race
At the start of the race, Kay Lon broke too late at the first corner and rammed into teammate Fredo Mestolio, which in turn ended up getting Andrea Battani, Phillippe Nicolas, Thomas De Bock and championship leader Mark Dagnall involved, taking them all out of the race. David Neuberg led for most of the race until his transmission failed, giving the lead to Pippa Mann, where she would stay giving the team their first win of the season. Ron Mignolet then inherited second out of this, but his transmission failed as well, giving second place to Martin McFry. Sammy Jones completed the podium, while James Davies, Aurelien Moll and Rosco Vantini finished up the points.
