In the opening A-main Chris was able comfortably lead the proceedings until a marshal accidentally placed a car in front of him which caused Chris to crash. Although still in the lead, his rhythm was gone, something Bjarke did profit from. Later Chris hit a curb, flipping the car and promoting him into the lead. Chris and Bjarke would swap the lead a couple of times and at the end Bjarke would take the win in A1. The second leg then saw Chris pushing hard right from the start and he soon opened a gap on the field, allowing him to stay away from any trouble. At the end Chris took the win with a seven seconds margin on Bjarke and with a time five seconds faster than his A1 result. In the third and decisive main Chris again had a good start and he would take a pretty easy win from tone to tone to bring home the overall victory from Bjarke Nyskov and Palle Ostenfeldt, making it an all-Xray podium.
