MINI GR.3 - Diaz De La Vega and Girardello share the victories.
The heats began restoring order to the category rankings after the disappointing qualifying results, where as many as 15 drivers in Session-1 were without a time because they could not complete even a single lap due to entering the track late. In the first heat A-B, the victory went to the Mexican Santiago Diaz De La Vega (#512 BabyRace/Parolin-Iame-Vega), ahead of the Session-2 poleman, the Spanish driver Daniel Miron Lorente (#552 Team Driver/KR-Iame), and the Bulgarian Alexander Lazarus (#515 BabyRace/Parolin-Iame).
