Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex) and Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex) made contact on the first formation lap, probably due to a technical problem. The race started in the right order after another formation lap. Several karts were stacked the first hairpin, Thomas Bale (FA Kart / Vortex) was even ejected from his kart, but restarted while Maxime Potty (Kosmic / Vortex), Nikita Sitnikov (Tony Kart / TM), Juho Valtanen (Kosmic / Vortex) , Aatu Moilainen (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Marcu Dionisios (Tony Kart / Vortex) remained on the sidelines.
Unsurprisingly, Nicklas Nielsen (Tony Kart / Vortex) escaped ahead of Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex), Basz, Casper Roes (FA Kart / Vortex) and Felice Tiene (CRG / Parilla). Ben Hanley (Croc Promotion / TM) came back strongly in 8th position behind Tom Joyner (Zanardi / TM). Basz then gave up ground to Roes and Tiene. Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex) lost a lot of time at the start and continued to drop. Bale had retired as well as Martijn Van Leeuwen (CRG / TM).
Nielsen stopped on lap eight, so Vartanyan didn’t need much encouragement to go ahead of Lorandi and Tiene. Benjamin Lessennes (Zanardi / TM) and Gasper Mihevic (Tony Kart / Vortex) crashed and retired themselves at the halfway point. Vartanyan upped the pace again and won ahead of his opponents. Richard Verschoor (Exprit / Vortex), up to 5th put pressure on Roes in front of him and got past into 4th with three laps left. Basz fought to keep 6th against Joyner, while Marcus Armstrong (Tony Kart / Vortex) closed up to them.
Vartanyan won this strange final with the fastest time, 3.6 » in front of Lorandi, himself nearly 3 » in front of Tiene. Verschoor finished 4th, Roes 5th, Basz 6th, Joyner 7th and Armstrong 8th. But the race saw too much misfortune to leave a good memory.
