Behind him, his teammate from France Jean Nomblot was second, while the Swede Douglas Lundberg (Renda Motorsport/BirelART-TM Racing) claimed P3 from the Dutch Laurens Van Hoepen (Leclerc by Lennox/BirelART-TM Racing), who was handed a 5s time penalty. The 2019 World Champion from France Emilien Denner (Intrepid Driver Program/Intrepid-TM Racing) missed his appointment with the top of the standings as he was stopped first by an incident in the Prefinal and then by another one in the Final when he was gaining some ground. The fourth place went to the Dutch Laurens Van Hoepen (Leclerc by Lennox/BirelART-TM Racing), the fifth to Ukraine’s Viacheslav Putiatin (Parolin Motorsport/Parolin-TM Racing).
