The last two OK Qualifying Heats of the European Championship finalised the grid for the title Final.

In the A-D heat, Ugo Ugochukwu (KR/Iame) got off to a great start just behind Andrea Kimi Antonelli (KR/Iame) in the A-D heat. Tuukka Taponen (Tony Kart/Vortex) kept his 3rd place. The three men would fight it out to the end. Ugochukwu moved into the lead and took the lead. He set the fastest times while Antonelli fought to keep Taponen at bay. Rintaro Sato (Kosmic/Vortex) secured 4th place ahead of Ariel Elkin (KR/Iame) while Arthur Rogeon (Tony Kart/Vortex) was back in 12th place.

Rafael Camara (KR/Iame) finished the first lap of the B-C heat in 4th place, while Nikola Tsolov (KR/Iame) was leading the race. But the Brazilian quickly recovered and was back in 2nd place on the next lap. Determined, Camara took the lead on the third lap and escaped to an important victory for his position in the intermediate classification. He won with the fastest time, a second ahead of Tsolov. Martinuis Stenshorne finished 3rd ahead of Tymoteusz Kucharczyk (RK/TM) and Ricardo Gracia (Exprit/TM). Evan Giltaire (KR/Iame) lost some ground, but still finished 6th. Romain Andriolo (KR/Iame) kept his 11th position and Hugo Besson (KR/Iame) moved up to 16th.

Antonelli remained the heat leader ahead of Tsolov, Lindblad and Taponen. Alfio Spina (Parolin/TM) made a strong comeback from 25th to 5th and Camara was 6th ahead of Joe Turney (Tony Kart/Vortex) and Sato. Giltaire qualified 14th, Marlon Hernandez (KR/Iame) 28th and Andriolo 35th.
