The rain has moved away from Wackersdorf and it was a totally dry track for the 1st qualifying heat for KZ1; A against C. Jonathan Thonon (CRG / Maxter) and Jérémy Iglesias (Intrepid / TM) were on the front row, followed by Rick Dreezen (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Beitske Visser (Intrepid / TM). Iglesias took the advantage initially, but a collision at the first corner changed the game, Alessandro Bressan (CKR / TM), was in second position ahead of Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Simone Brenna (TB Kart / TM). Thonon and Carlton had retired, Piccioni was 23rd and Visser 24th. Kozlinski was also at the back. Simo Puhakka (PCR / TM) advanced to the third.

Ardigo took control on the 4th lap by passing Iglesias, Puhakka was now 21st. Brenna was behind Iglesias, then it was Dreezen and Convers. At the halfway point, Ardigo was 2.5 seconds ahead of Brenna, who was being tailgated by Dreezen. Convers went 4th and 5th was Bressan. On lap 8, Brenna lost 3 places in favor of Dreezen, Bressan and Convers. Kozlinski and Visser ran together behind the pack, but Koko was lapped. Convers remained on Dreezen’s bumper.
