Gabriel Aubry (Tony Kart / Vortex) also dropped, followed by Alessio Lorandi (Tony Kart / Parilla) and Maxime Potty (Kosmic / Parilla). Callum Ilott (Zanardi / Parilla) took the lead ahead of Hannes Janker (Zanardi / Parilla), Nicklas Nielsen (Kosmic / Vortex), Lando Norris (FA Kart / Vortex) and Linus Lundqvist. Nielsen took the lead on the fourth lap. Dropping to 5th behind Lundqvist, Norris set several fastest laps. Nielsen and Ilott escaped ahead of Lundqvist, Norris and Janker, with the pack 4” behind.

Nicolas Gonzales (Kosmic / Parilla) passed Paolo Besancenez (Tony Kart / TM) to gain 15th place, Kari returned to 17th, Julien Darras (ART GP / TM) advanced to 22nd ahead of Lorandi and Aubry.
