After the training there were four pre-runs in each class, the three best runs were decisive.

After the Nitro heats Max was in third place and Sven in tenth, in the Elo class Max took second place.

The semifinals were unspectacular for Max, so he could reach the first starting position elo class and the second in the nitro class. Unfortunately, Sven had to accept a defeat in the semi-final.
