Jonny Edgar (Exprit / TM) was in 3rd position in front of Hugo Sasse (CRG / Parilla) with a victory each, Sasse losing the benefit of his second victory to Jules Mettetal (Kosmic / Parilla) after a bad maneouvre. Rasmus Joutsimies (FA Kart / Parilla) took 5th place in front of Andrea Rosso (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Dexter Patterson (Exprit / TM). Among the other contenders for the title were Christopher Lulham (Tony Kart / Parilla) 11th, Ilya Morozov (Tony Kart / Vortex) 13th, Gabriel Bortoleto (CRG / Parilla) 18th behind Jules Mettetal, the top Frenchman at this stage as Hadrien David Zanardi / Parilla) retired in the final heat and finished 19th in the intermediate standings.
