Despite a worst rain forecast with rain all weekend the weather on Saturday started out of and at the end it was young Lucas Baruffi (Xray) who came out fastest after practice and seeding from fellow Xray drivers Willian Capitelli and André Franchi. The heats then started on an inconsistent and slippery track and at the end of heat four the rain came back, forcing for an hour long break until heat five could be started. Unfortunately the heaven opened its gates again and so the championship reached its end and it was Willian Capitelli who took the overall win. Lucas Baruffi grabbed the runner-up spot from Flavio Salinet (Xray) who rounded out the top 3 result.
