Hubert Anthoine was taken out at the first corner of the final and Pierre Gasly kept first place. But he was threatened, then passed by a supercharged Remy Deguffroy who subsequently lost 4 places at once. Penalized in the Prefinal, Charles Leclerc recovered his handicap and was in second position ahead of Leo Roussel, Lucile Cypriano and Victor Compere. Hubert was eighth ahead of Benjamin Gerard.
The three Sodi leaders widened the gap while remaining clustered. Deguffroy then Tirman, his teammate, was soon joined by Hubert. Under the threat of Leclerc, Gasly increased the pace in the lead. Roussel was also dubious about the second placed Leclerc. At 5 seconds back, Cypriano was caught by the trio led by the Tony Kart of Deguffroy. On lap 8, Leclerc attacked Roussel and captured second spot.
Deguffroy, Tirman, Hubert and Cypriano almost overtook on the same corner. Hubert was always just behind his teammates, which probably indicated the speed of his machine. Valentin Moineault was back in 12th after having been severely slowed at the start. Pierre Louis Loubet was in 8th position after passing Gerard. A strong leader, Gasly set consistent and fast times and won a clear victory from Roussel and Leclerc, a hat-trick for Sodi.
