Fast hot track in Vila-Real, sometimes narrow, constant twists and turns, does not allow pilots to make overtaking, and this was not rich in the opening race. However, very disappointing loss 2 seats the pilot LADA Katsburg at the start, with the result that only allowed to finish 3rd. Valente pilot did not finish. Tarquini finished only 12th. Tom Coronel on ChevraLet Cruze won this race.
