Pierre Loubère (Zanardi / Parilla) also performed well at 7 hundredths back, while Alessio Piccini (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Alessandro Irlando (Sodi / TM) were also in the top 10. Just after that came Martijn Van Leeuwen in 11th, Brandon Nilsson (Parolin / TM) 12th, Thomas Landais (Tony Kart / Vortex) 13th and Adrien Renaudin (Sodi / TM) 14th, followed by his teammate Rokas Baciuska (Sodi / TM).
