Race 2
The reigning champion Beatriz Neila Santos signed the double by leading Race 2 from the lights to the chequered flag and leaving behind her a heated fight for the remaining two podium positions.

By only 60 thousandths, Roberta Ponziani was fourth, but redeemed herself after the tremendous crash in Race 1. Sara Cabrini closed the top five.
