The Swede Viktor Gustafsson (Leclerc by Lennox/BirelART-TM Racing) has been slowed down by an early contact and eventually finished the race only in eighth place.

Gladysz and Monza get one victory each in MINI, as the title goes to Gladysz.

Incredible fights have taken place in MINI and the title fight was only decided in at the end of the second final. The victory of the first final was claimed by the Pole Maciej Gladysz (Parolin Racing/Parolin-TM Racing-Vega) a result that offered him a good option to the title, thanks also to a penalty handed to the Russian Gerasim Skulanov (Formula K Serafini/IPK-TM Racing), who had crossed the finish line on top. The Dutch René Lammers (Baby Race/Parolin-Iame) inherited the second position in Round 1 after leading the second part of the race.
