In the main Serpent driver Anthony Abisset, coming from 4th on the grid, took the lead around 10 minutes into the final while Serpent team mate Damien Thirion settled for 2nd. At the 25 minute mark Anthony struggled during a pitstop for tyres allowing Damien to take the lead which he never gave back to take the win at the 3rd round of the championship. Anthony decided to take things easy following a small mistake and to grab valuable points for the championship by coming in 2nd. Xray driver Thomas Eytard completed the podium in 3rd.
