Launched start on a very wet Valellunga track in race 3, with Roy Alecco (Van Amersfoort Racing AV) in pole, in front of teammate Cohen, Petecof (Prema Powerteam) and Berets (DRZ Benelli).

Alecco has a good start, while Petecof overtakes Cohen. Behind Berets (DRZ Benelli) and Saucy (R-ace GP) follow. Belov (Bhai Tech Racing) attacks Aron (Prema Powerteam) in the inside with a great overtake. Safety Car is requested after a spin by Edgar (Jenzer Motorsport) that also involves Salmenautio (DRZ Benelli)

At the restart there is great battle with contacts and spin, among which Balev and Aron hitting each other and the latter going off track. At the “curvone” Knutten (Van Amersfoort Racing) goes off track, followed by Marinangeli (Bhai Tech Racing) who spins.

Safety car is back in and another launched start. Belov attacks Petecof and the two cars come into contact, with the Brazilian still well ahead and the Bhai Tech driver spinning. Incredible Petecof manages, 4 corners to the end of the race, to overtake Roy Alecco and conquer his second victory of the weekend. Third is Durksen, first among Rookies, followed by Stanek and Rosso (Antonelli Motorsport).
