The race weekend at Zandvoort started with the notable absence of championship leader Christoph Lichtenstein. This provided a great opportunity for rival Chris Williamson to close the gap once more after a disappointing performance at Spa. Qualifying proved to be a closely fought affair with the top 5 drivers separated by less than a second. Jason Muscat managed to claim pole position with Finn Jyri Lylykorpi alongside, followed by the PB Racing cars and Sam Millar.

Muscat managed to get a textbook getaway and soon set about building a comfortable cushion over the rest of the field. Further back Jundt and Williamson both got slow starts, while Adam Smith collided with local driver Stephan van der Wulp in the first corner. Lylykorpi managed to hang on to 2nd place initially, but soon came under pressure from Millar, Jundt and Williamson, who one by one were able to get past.

Attrition set in and led to half the field retiring by half distance. David Jundt managed to get past Millar and started to close the gap to race leader Muscat. However sloppy pitwork by the PB Racing crew saw him once more lose ground to his rivals and meant he had to pass Millar again to reclaim 2nd.

In the end Jason Muscat did enough to win by 7 seconds from Jundt. Millar was set for 3rd, but a spin a few laps from home saw Chris Williamson take the final podium spot. This meant Lichtenstein had only a 4 point advantage over Williamson going into the final round in Singapore.
