Entry List


Classification


Qualification Race

Tréluyer lead a seemingly immaculate race to take the win in the first race of two and set himself up nicely for the feature race. He was followed by Calcagni and Dumez.


Main Race

An exceptional race by Tréluyer meant that he would lead from start-to-finish. Bourdais was seemingly the only person who could mount such a challenge, but after retiring on lap 15, it was a relatively easy run until the finish for Tréluyer. Although, Dumez did close up the gap considerably toward the end, with the winning margin being less than two seconds.
