Report
Ingo Gerstl continued his winning run once more and another Austrian, 19-year-old Christopher Höher managed Formula Class victory and overall podium on his BOSS GP debut.

Following a multi-car collision at the first chicane, the Safety-Car collected the grid right in the opening laps. When the pace car was about to return to the pits, a massive downpour forced to race director to halt the event. Since the drivers had completed 75% of the race, full points were allocated.

In the OPEN class polesetter Klaas Zwart could not get away from the grid for the warm-up lap and thus had to start the race from the pits. Consequently, Ingo Gerstl took the lead from the front row and kept it till the race was abandonned.

The driver dealt the hugest blow in the race was Klaas Zwart who was penalised 25 seconds and this dropped him to second-last place in the results.
