The domination of the Quebecois Pier Ouellette seemed semi-certain in view of his past performance. It was therefore not a big surprise when the no. 261 kart crossed the finish line well ahead. It was behind him the show took place. Strangely, the race started before they went over the line, leaving four karts on the sidelines. The wily Williamson took advantage of his place on the inside of the grid to place himself immediately in the wake of Ouelette, followed by the Japanese driver Kubo. Morgan Riche let two karts go to ensure he got round the first lap, which was wise! He then went on the attack and fairly easily retook Kubo, while Ben George was in fourth and seemed threatening. Morgan found an opening on Williamson on the second lap, but he did not pull away, far from it.
The other French in the race: Olivier Fiorucci fought in around 20th place and Guy Pansart around the 24th.
Ouellette was way ahead, Riche remained second, but was being threatened by Kubo and Williamson who eventually got by. Ambition played a role in keeping the chase tightly-knit and it took a lap for Morgan to catch up and overtake Williamson, and two more to take account of Kubo. Riche had recovered his second place. At the finish, it was Kubo who took the third step on the podium.
Fiorucci and Pansart were 17th and 19th respectively.
