Incredible first two laps for this first Barcelona race contested in the downpour! Verschuur suffered a battery problem and Enjalbert took the lead at the start. But the Boutsen Energy driver went into a gravel trap in front of his team Catsburg on the 2nd lap, while Hirschi, who started 7th, was already 3rd. Unleashed, the TDS drivers quickly overcame their opponents, Hirschi leading in front of Madonia on the second lap.
Controlling the race and successfully completing their obligatory refueling, the Swiss scored his first victory of the season and Madonia, the title holder of the Gentlemen Drivers, his first scratch podium. Verschuur climbed onto the 3rd step of the podium ahead of Thiriet, who completes the TDS success.
