Although this long Qualifying phase was intense, the races came one after another without a hitch and the weather did not disturb their progress. After the sun on Thursday afternoon, it was more cloudy on Friday while the temperature often exceeded 20°. The day ended with the official presentation of the 216 drivers from 29 nationalities and the draw for some exceptional prizes. Aron Krepcsik no. 240 won the Can-Am Ryker worth more than €10,000 offered by BRP-Rotax while Tony Hoog no. 711, Vida Benedek no. 490 and Rhys Hunter no. 402 went away with a helmet offered by Bell Racing.

Rhys and Kai Hunter (GBR - Kosmic - Dan Holland Racing) took the first two places in the intermediate classification in spectacular fashion. The elder Rhys had five victories against four for his younger brother. Kovacs Zsombor (HUN - Exprit - KMS Europe) fought hard to keep 3rd place against the return of Enzo Caldaras (FRA - Kosmic - KPR) from 14th place in Timed Qualifying.

The return of Nicolas Picot (FRA - Tony Kart - NPS) to 4th place, suggests an interesting Final phase. Dionisis Liveris (GRC - Tony Kart - Daems Racing) put in a good performance to take 5th place.

DD2 Masters: Louveau back in business
Paul Louveau (FRA - Redspeed - DSS), who had qualified 5th against the clock, made up for it by taking 1st place at the end of the heats thanks to two wins.
