In OK, classification leader Rafael Camara (KR Motorsport/KR-Iame) won the first Prefinal after dominating the weekend in Lonato since the beginning.

MINI’s Prefinal-A was won by the Dutch René Lammers (Baby Race/Parolin-Iame), who won the heats after a good comeback from qualifying practice and a shared lead with the Spanish driver Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport/Parolin-TM Racing). In Prefinal-B Costoya, despite being the most credited contender, slipped down to P13. The victory of Prefinal-B went to the Romanian David Cosma-Cristofor (Gulstar Racing/KR-Iame).
As expected, KZ2 Prefinal-A was won by the French Emilien Denner (Intrepid Driver Program/Intrepid-TM Racing), while another strong title contender, the Swede Viktor Gustavsson (Leclerc by Lennox/BirelART-TM Racing) ended third behind the other Frenchman Adrien Renaudin (Sodikart/Sodi-TM Racing).
