The podium was completed by BMW junior driver Jake Hughes after a clam, trouble-free race from the Briton.
Gustav Malja held on to fourth ahead of Steijn Schothorst, with the Dutchman having pulled off two on-the-road overtakes to get to fifth.

Barnicoat finished in that very position, while rest of the top ten was completed by Raoul Owens, Callan O’Keeffe, Matthew Graham and Ukyo Sasahara.
