In 1/8th it was the other Energy driver, Simon Kurzbuch, to start from TQ and to lead the final for 40 minutes until the long stop in the pits due to the first gear pinion coming loose on his clutch bell. The sudden stop on one side prevented Energy Fuel from completing what would have been an amazing 1-2, but on the other hand gave the race lead to a stunning Daniele Ielasi who took home a perfect final crossing the line at the end of the 45 minutes race ahead of Alberto Picco and Rick Vrielijnck.

In the 200mm final, a Stop&Go penalty given to the TQ Dominic Greiner for jumping the start allowed the MLC driver Alessio Mazzeo, who was starting 2nd on the grid after winning the Superpole, to take a race lead he never gave away for the whole 45 minutes, winning right ahead of his former team-mate greiner and the other MLC driver Mario Spiniello.
