- Throdle, FCP Euro and Royal Purple contingency programs are available for PROSEPC competitors who meet the defined criteria
- Top qualifier Lemaire scored 93 points and will benefit from a bye run through the Top 32 competition heats
- Second-place Brutskiy and third-place Jagger both scored 91 points, with two additional style points putting Brutskiy on top
- Two-time and reigning PROSPEC Champion Brutskiy will be hoping for a better weekend than the opening round in order to mount a defense of his title
- Top Rookie qualifier was Robert Thorne (USA) who scored 81 points, placing his ASMotorsport / Kats Coin BMW M3 in fifth place
- 32 drivers qualified for positions in the Top 32 competition heats. Unfortunately, Lukas Torno (Brazil) was unable to complete a qualifying run and was eliminated, resulting in Lemaire’s bye run
