Carworld enjoyed another 1-2 in the Supersport I class, this time with Ertan taking the victory ahead of Wijnen and Dubois. Kreijne scored another podium in third.
 
The Supersport II and Sport I classes held two separate races from the GT and Supersport 1 categories and both races were won by the JR Motorsport BMW E46 of Bert van der Zweerde and Richard van den Bos.
 
In race 1 the pair took the overall win and Supersport II honours from Robin and Ferry Monster in the Riwal / Team Moreel Seat Leon Supercopa, with the Brax Racing Saker Sportscar GT of Milko Tas and Bob Herber in third.
