Surprisingly, Schinkel appeared on the grid with a rebuilt Escort - but to no avail: after the flag had been dropped, the differential locked and Schinkel was out. Spice had taken the lead with Braillard second, holding up Semoulin - Spice had a gap which he never lost, winning the race with Semoulin second and Braillard third.
