The undisputed driver of the day was Frenchman Anthoine Hubert. Racing with Tech 1 Racing as wild card, Hubert took the pole position in the morning and won Race 1 in the afternoon having led the pack throughout the 16-lap length. Along with him on podium there Aitken, who thus closed his gap from the leader Hughes (P4) and Ben Barnicoat (Fortec Motorsports).

The early stages of the race saw him recovering from the back but a contact with the Swiss Hugo De Sadeleer marked his retirement and a four-place grid penalty in Race 2. His team-mate Vivacqua only managed eighth while Riener did not even managed to enter the top-10 still grasping though P3 in the championship.
The Russian Vasily Romanov (Cram Motorsport) once more proved his skills. After having won his first ever race in Monza, he drove consistently and managed fifth ahead of the Indian Jehan Daruvala and the Croatian Martin Kodric, both back in the series with Fortec Motorsports colors.
«My race was perfect. I had no problems at all. If tomorrow is going to be rainy, it will be even better. I’m trying to focus on the upcoming weekend when I’ll be back in Jerez for the Eurocup. I’m currently fourth». - stated Hubert.
