The start took place on a slightly damp track, with the drivers all starting on slick tires. David Beckman (Trident) takes off perfectly from the pole unlike Anthoine Hubert (ART GP) who lost several places after skating.

Finally, Anthoine Hubert managed to move up to third position at the end of the first lap behind Ryan Tveter (Trident) who gained six positions at the Source thanks to the poor start of the ART GP.

Despite the Frenchman's comeback in the final laps, nothing can prevent Beckmann from winning for the first time since September 2015 in German F4. Ryan Tveter gives Trident a double and equals his best performance in the long race. Thanks to a third place and a best lap in the race, Anthoine Hubert increased his lead in the championship to 24 points over Callum Ilott (ART GP).

Pedro Piquet (Trident) ranks 4^e in front of the ART GP of Nikita mazepin, Callum Ilott and Jake Hughes, although the Briton remained 4 for a long time^e. Joey Mawson (Arden) takes reverse pole as Giuliano Alesi (Trident) and Tatiana Calderón (Jenzer) complete the top 10. Gabriel Aubry (Arden) placed 13th in the event and Julien Falchero (Arden) finished 16th.
