Kondo Racing driver Fenestraz came out on top of an intriguing strategic battle, as the race was turned on its head by the second safety car period that coincided with the start of the pit window.
The Franco-Argentine driver, who led the early laps after out-dragging poleman and championship leader Tomoki Nojiri at the start, was the among the majority to clear his mandatory stop on lap 10 of 53, leaving him down in eighth place behind seven cars that opted to stay out on track.
