Championship leader Al Qamzi trailed Massimo Roggiero, Guido Cappellini, Jonas Andersson and Pierre Lundin from the start.

However, the action soon heated up, as Al Hameli and world champion, Jay Price, were forced to push their way through the back-markers to have any chance of taking points.

Al Hameli was again sidelined with ongoing engine problems, as Roggiero relinquished his lead to eventual winner, Guido Cappellini.

Price managed to climb back to eighth position, but Al Qamzi moved up from fifth to fourth overall and maintained his lead in the World Championship after three rounds.

Behind Cappellini, Andersson and Fabio Comparato filled the podium places and Sami Selio finished fifth overall. Al Hameli will be hoping for better luck during today's second race.
