Czech driver Max Karhan from Jenzer Motorsport secured another home victory at Automotodrom Brno, driving from pole position to the win and closint the points gap to championship leader and teammate Oscar Wurz, who finished second.
Max Karhan and Kirill Kutskov started on the front row, with Miroslav Mikeš and Joanne Ciconte behind them. Karhan got a slightly better start than Kutskov, but it was Mikeš who had the best getaway, moving from third into the lead as they braked into the first turn. The order at the front was Mikeš, Karhan, Kutskov, and Wurz in fourth, after overtaking Joanne Ciconte, who dropped to seventh behind Simo Schranz in sixth and Nathanael Berreby in fifth.
Karhan reclaimed the lead on the second lap, and the battle continued between second-placed Mikeš and third-placed Kutskov. However, in the stadium section, Kutskov collided with Mikeš, sending him off the track. Shortly after, Kutskov also ran off the track and became stationary, prompting the deployment of the safety car.
The order behind the safety car was Karhan, Wurz, Berreby, Schranz, Mikeš, Ciconte, Olkucka, Sabaj, Němec, and Mičík.
The race was restarted after a couple of laps behind the safety car, with Karhan holding the lead and Wurz following closely. Behind them, there was a fierce battle for the final podium place between Berreby, Schranz, and Mikeš.
A close fight also unfolded between the three young women in the field—Ciconte, Olkucka, and Sabaj. Ciconte and Olkucka had a thrilling but fair duel, giving each other as little room as possible.
In the final lap, Schranz launched an attack on Berreby, and they drove side by side for a moment, but Berreby managed to hold on to third place until the finish. Max Karhan crossed the line first, claiming his second victory of the weekend and closing the points gap to championship leader Oscar Wurz, who finished second.
Simon Schranz finished fourth, Miroslav Mikeš fifth, Kornelia Olkucka sixth, Michalina Sabaj seventh, and Joanne Ciconte eighth.
