The first part of the qualifying saw both of the spdo drivers in the front. Spdo Roedii set the fastest lap with a 2:07.1. The Top 10 advanced to the next part and it was SpeedCore.GTR who reached the tenth place with only 2 tenth in front of 1stBFA|haelje.
In the second part the cars had to be set up for the race. The main actors were now Storm_Cloud from Peregrinus and the drivers of the North-West Racing Team Knu and Ice, who took the first three positions with Storm_Cloud setting the Pole-Position time of 2:08.68, now obviously with a whole lot of fuel.
On the way to T1 Knu already gets past Storm_Cloud with Ice and Roedii behind them. While braking, Roedii hits Knu on the back and takes him and OMC|JET with him into the gravel. 1stBFA|filo who runs into JET follows them, while NWRT|Ice now takes the lead on the outside while avoiding the little chaos. FPR|Matze gets a look on the inside of Knu and takes P2 on their way to the first hairpin. In the middle of the field eXc Marcel pushes 1stBFA haelje into a spin.
OMC|SCP started dead last and is now on 7th place and continues with his rush to the front. After 5 laps he is on 4th position and leads a few laps later after the top runners go into the pits for their first stops. Knu takes the lead back from his teammate Ice, who loses his concentraion and falls back to P8 but he is able to recover to gain 2 more places. Behind Knu are FPR|Matze and OMC|SCP fighting for the second position. SCP is able to stay in front of Matze after his first pit stop and continues to close the gap to Knu. But NWRT|Knu manages to hold his position and wins his first OWRL F1 race in front of OMC|SCP and FPR|Matze.
The 4th place goes to spdo KiLl3r, who had a rather silent race, followed by Speedcore.Bessa who started from 19th. NWRT|Ice and FPR|Tisu were fighting for P6 for the last nine laps but a small error by Tisu gives Ice the upperhand. The last point goes to SF)Damon(.
