On the second lap, Alex Peroni and Henrique Chaves made contact which led to the entry of the safety car on track. At the same time, Ghislain Cordeel also had to climb out of the car.

With twelve minutes remaining, the race went green again. Defourny lost two positions to Fenestraz and Shwartzman but he fought back as soon as possible.

Further back in the field, Zane Goddard and Luis Leeds collided but eventually could continue.

But with two minutes to go, Shwartzman and Aubry collided and both drivers had to stop their cars, offering the podium to Fenestraz and Defourny. In the last lap, Defourny tried to pass Fenestraz for P2 but the Frenchman eventually kept the advantage for less than two tenths on the line.

Will Palmer won the second race of the week-end ahead of Sacha Fenestraz and Max Defourny. Verhagen, Maxwell, Ye, Verschoor, Fewtrell, Vartanyan and Guzman completed the top 10.
