Two changes were made to the starting lineup before the race weekend. Sebastian Balthasar replaced Nikolay Martsenko at Hilmer Motorsport.[1] At Trident, Mitchell Gilbert replaced Denis Nagulin.[2]
In a wet qualifying session, Jimmy Eriksson claimed his maiden pole position, with championship leader Alex Lynn starting alongside him.[3] Jann Mardenborough got the best start from fourth, but was forced wide by Lynn, allowing Eriksson to keep the lead. Lynn fought for the lead in the latter part of the race but Eriksson held him off, converting pole into his maiden win.[4] Marvin Kirchhöfer finished third.[5]
Dino Zamparelli started from reverse grid pole for race 2, but a poor start allowed Richie Stanaway to take the lead. He kept the lead throughout the race to take the win, with Nick Yelloly making it a 1-2 for Status Grand Prix.[6] It was Stanaway's first race win since 2011.[7] Emil Bernstorff completed the podium.[8] Lynn once again remained in the lead of the championship, eight points ahead of Eriksson.[9]
