Jordan O’Brien got the best start in the 50-minute race as the cars funnelled into turn 1 where Gabriel Rindone (Leipert Motorsport), who started from the front row, had a spin in the middle of turn 3, causing havoc amongst those behind, while Cedric Leimar made contact with Claude Senhoreti, who ended up in the gravel, bringing the safety car out.
The race resumed on lap 3 and O'Brien immediately started to pull out an advantage over his rivals, but the ANSA Motorsport team were waiting until the final moment to bring the car in for the driver handover to Ron Atapattu, who was always going to lap at a slower pace than O’Brien, and this allowed Lewandowski to take the lead after the pit stop window closed.
