Race

The 25-minute race began with the start behind the safety car. Still on the introduction lap, Enzo Garcia, the championship leader, and Pedro Callan were left behind due to car problems and did not participate in the race. The safety car remained on the track for approximately eight minutes to clear the vehicles.

At the beginning of the second half, the competition for the lead was intense. Rafael continued to press until he took first place, while Leo Reis lost the back of the car and ended up giving up two places.

Shortly afterwards, a new safety car entered the track after three drivers rounded the same corner. The safety car continued until the final minutes. On the final restart, Rafael only managed to gain the advantage and take the victory in the first Stock Light race.
