Race report

With 59 laps, each culminating in the circuit length of 3.337 km (2.074 mi) and a total 260.286 km (161.734 mi), the racers began in the Circuit de Calatas de Cortina to the spectacle of spectators. Early on, the head of the standing took a significant lead with Zamastanian driver Arnaud Crozier taking the head. During the course of the race, Drezquenia's Jonáš Ošetřil climbed from a middle placement and was able to get close behind Crozier, where the two battled neck and neck for the majority of the finale. However, it was a 48th lap crash involving several drivers that allowed Besmenia's Tobias Mechter to climb rapidly from their 20th starting slot to just behind Crozier and Ošetřil. The three battled in the final 7 laps, alternating between lead placements, until a sharp final turn and a near miss by the Zamastanian and Drezquenian allowed a narrow opening for Mechter to take a claim in the lead, passing over the finish line with a margin of barely a second. Ošetřil nabbed second by a sliver, and Crozier clinched his third place finish. Ten seconds past until the rest of the pack which remained out of the earlier crash finished, led by Beatavic's Kaur and Kaoro's Varikto.
