At the start of the 30 minute final Dmitry Malyshko got the lead followed by pole position man Artem in 2nd position. It was very interesting competition, because cars and skill of drivers were the same. However, after second refueling Dmitry lost the lead and dropped the fourth position, because of troubles in the pits. He was able to regain 2nd position after a few laps he gained 2nd position but couldnt catch Artem who took the win with Dmitry in 2nd and Anton Shegolev in 3rd
