=== Race Report ===

MattIsOff started the race in 19th after failing to qualify during the qualifying window with the 20th grid slot also left open due to the Monster Racing team unable to provide a second driver. Vellange disconnected on the start straight immediately before the race start Both Bubuxcx and Fabixcx suffered on the race start, dropping from p4 and p8 to p15 and p17 respectively, with the top 3 maintaining position. Faxeo was able to improve position on track up to p4 within the opening corners, passing two-time world champion Sab2003. F1rret passed other two-time world champion, GabeTM for p2 in the final corner entering the second lap. Vellange reconnecting caused a hazard on track whilst his game failed to load for him with multiple drivers having to take evasive action. Semicolon_ decided to take an early pit stop, pitting at the end of the first lap from 12th position.

FatihAr suffered a great lag spike and fell from 8th to 18th ahead of only Vellange. Unable to improve position, Bubuxcx would pit at the end of lap 2 with an attempt to undercut. Jeelow continued to improve his lead, developing it to 3.506 seconds by the end of lap 4. Gabe pitted from 3rd to attempt to undercut the leaders who were in clean air, exiting the pit into the fight for 10th.

Gabe pitted from 3rd to attempt to undercut the leaders who were in clean air, exiting the pit into the fight for 10th.

After suffering behind his teammate who was a lap down, Jeelow's gap in the lead dropped to 1 second with F1rret making a surprise overtake down the inside of turn 1 for the lead entering lap 6 with Faxeo also passing Jeelow around turn 2. The British driver then further improved his position to the lead of the race after passing F1rret in the final sector and putting him in the lead for the first time of his career. The chaos of the lap prompted Jeelow to pit from 3rd behind Faxeo's teammate, lapped driver Sepl3333 with the Colombian driver exiting the pit into traffic behind rookie AkselV. Jeelow's stop also put rookie driver pwnings briefly into the podium positions on debut before she was passed by Warsaw Pegasus' KrisusQ.

Vellange returning to the track caused another hazard on track with Faxeo having to take evasive action and allowing F1rret down his inside to retake the lead entering lap 8. In response, Faxeo pitted at the end of the lap, around half a second after Murweh's AkselV and exited the pit marginally behind both Gabe and Jeelow into p7, the latter of whom set another fastest lap. Fatih retired on lap 10, 3 laps dowwn due to repeated lag issues. Jeelow experienced a lag spike on lap 12, falling behind both Faxeo and Fabi who was a pit down. Sab went for his second and final mandatory pit stop, re-entering the track in p14 behind Bubu with teammate Fauxbethvv on the same early double pit stop. They were followed by Jeelow who left the pit into moderate traffic as well as second BMW driver HockeyMan_31 who was previously running in p7 on debut.

 === Race Report ===
-MattIsOff started the race in 19th after failing to qualify during the qualifying window with the 20th grid slot also left open due to the Monster Racing team unable to provide a second driver. Vellange disconnected on the start straight immediately before the race start Both Bubuxcx and Fabixcx suffered on the race start, dropping from p4 and p8 to p15 and p17 respectively, with the top 3 maintaining position. Faxeo was able to improve position on track up to p4 within the opening corners, passing two-time world champion Sab2003. F1rret passed other two-time world champion, GabeTM for p2 in the final corner entering the second lap. Vellange reconnecting caused a hazard on track whilst his game failed to load for him with multiple drivers having to take evasive action. Semicolon_ decided to take an early pit stop, pitting at the end of the first lap from 12th position.

-FatihAr suffered a great lag spike and fell from 8th to 18th ahead of only Vellange. Unable to improve position, Bubuxcx would pit at the end of lap 2 with an attempt to undercut. Jeelow continued to improve his lead, developing it to 3.506 seconds by the end of lap 4. Gabe pitted from 3rd to attempt to undercut the leaders who were in clean air, exiting the pit into the fight for 10th.

-After suffering behind his teammate who was a lap down, Jeelow's gap in the lead dropped to 1 second with F1rret making a surprise overtake down the inside of turn 1 for the lead entering lap 6 with Faxeo also passing Jeelow around turn 2. The British driver then further improved his position to the lead of the race after passing F1rret in the final sector and putting him in the lead for the first time of his career. The chaos of the lap prompted Jeelow to pit from 3rd behind Faxeo's teammate, lapped driver Sepl3333 with the Colombian driver exiting the pit into traffic behind rookie AkselV. Jeelow's stop also put rookie driver pwnings briefly into the podium positions on debut before she was passed by Warsaw Pegasus' KrisusQ.

-Vellange returning to the track caused another hazard on track with Faxeo having to take evasive action and allowing F1rret down his inside to retake the lead entering lap 8. In response, Faxeo pitted at the end of the lap, around half a second after Murweh's AkselV and exited the pit marginally behind both Gabe and Jeelow into p7, the latter of whom set another fastest lap. Fatih retired on lap 10, 3 laps dowwn due to repeated lag issues. Jeelow experienced a lag spike on lap 12, falling behind both Faxeo and Fabi who was a pit down. Sab went for his second and final mandatory pit stop, re-entering the track in p14 behind Bubu with teammate Fauxbethvv on the same early double pit stop. They were followed by Jeelow who left the pit into moderate traffic as well as second BMW driver HockeyMan_31 who was previously running in p7 on debut.
