In the qualifiers, run in very hot weather conditions on Saturday, the battle for the TQ was on between Michal Milanowicz and Robert Okonski with the better end for Robert. The final on Sunday were a much different affair with 20°C and some rain. Robert though would bring home the win from Michal who suffered from bad luck in A1 and A2. The third and final A-main was than dropped by the organisers due to too much rain. Overall, Jan Ruman would round out the top 3 result, making it an all-Xray top 3.

He took the TQ after the three rounds of qualifying and he would then continue to dominate in the finals by winning the first two legs to claim the overall victory early.
