In the eighth lap, Müller and Jaminet delivered a spectacular duel for the lead. Müller won the sprint and once he took the lead he was able to gradually eke out an advantage on the slowly drying track.

The pack behind Müller, Jaminet and Cairoli put in gripping overtaking manoeuvres and bumper-to-bumper duels. After twelve laps the British guest drivers Joshua Webster from Mickfield and Nicholas Yelloly from Solihull, both competing for the German rookie team Deutsche Post by Project 1, crossed the finish line in fourth and fifth. Robert Lukas (PL/Förch Racing by Lukas Motorsport) conquered position six.

Müller and Cairoli have two wins each under their belts so far this season. At four races, Jaminet has climbed the podium three times, secured fourth place once and hence was able to earn points as the most consistent contender in the international one-make series, which has run as support to the Formula 1 since 1993. In the overall classification Jaminet leads with 66 points ahead of Müller with 63 points. Cairoli currently sits third with 56 points.
