After half way through the race the weather situation didn´t improve and the race was red flagged and didn´t re-start anymore. Half points were awarded as only half of the race distance had been gone so far. Leeds on P29, Ye on the podium with P3 and Fenestraz wins the race.

Race 2: On Saturday afternoon the weather conditions had been very good. Leeds had a good race and improved himself upto P23 in the end. Ye also had a good opening stage of the race fighting for the podium. A few small driving errors put him back to P7 in the end. Fenestraz was able to keep his lead into turn 1, but was then overtaken on the long straight afte Eau Rouge. Beeing 2nd for all of the race, Fenestraz tried an overtaking move in the last lap, slightly went off the track and had to settle for P3 in the end.

Race 3: On Sunday morning Leeds was out already in Lap 1 after another car had crashed into him. Ye was slightly moving up positions and was able to finish the race on P8. In the lead, Fenestraz was able to keep his place at the start and as well after another Safety Car Re-Start. He was then dominating the race with fastest race laps and controlled the action. In the end he was able to score another superb victory for this year. Excellent performance of Sacha once again.
