For Saturday rain was announced. However, the official training session was dry. The changing conditions made it difficult to find the right set-up and the right line. Unfortunately, the training sessions did not go very well: I only achieved fourth place on the grid in the qualifying practice.

Both training sessions on Monday were promising and I achieved the third-best time in the qualifying practice. I was able to maintain this position until the end of the first heat. In the second heat, I crashed at the start and had to finish the race in second last place. The starting position in the final race was made up of these two results in the heats: I started in eighth place. I was highly motivated and sighted my way to the front. On the third lap I overtook two drivers on the home straight and steered into the bend too quickly, causing a crash into the barrier. My engine stopped and after I was able to restart, I resumed the race but finished in last place.
