The competitors started in the reverse order of the grid for Prefinal 1. Federico Savona (Top Kart) moved firmly ahead of Thiago Vivacqua. Ben Barnicoat was quickly back in 3rd position, but the back of the pack that the best comebacks were expected. Anthoine Hubert, Joseph Mawson, Henry Easthope, and Ricky Collard were all grouped from the 18th position backwards, with Charles Leclerc two places ahead behind Matthew Graham.
Hubert passed Leclerc in battle with Graham, shortly after halfway to gain 14th place. This set up a heated last lap between Hubert and Graham who defended very strongly, even though a crash was avoided. Savona won from Vivacqua and Barnicoat, Mäntylä was 4th, Dlougy 5th. Hubert Petit finished 7th, Graham 13th, Hubert 14th, Leclerc 15th, Easthope 17th, Mawson 18th, Collard 19th and Gounon 21st.
The layout of Angerville doesn’t seem to favour spectacular recoveries as we have seen on other circuits in this championship.
