In leg 1 Doukakis was passed by Papachristos in the first lap who created a big gap over Doukakis. Ioannidis finished in third. In leg 2 Papachristos span out in the first lap and opened the door to Isaakidis and Ioannidis. With Doukakis in front there was a great battle between Isaakidis and Ioannidis. After Ioannidis had passed him it was a three-drivers fight where the young driver passed Doukakis in the ending laps taking the win in leg 2 with Doukakis second and Isaakidis third. Leg 3 was the decider of the race as the first four drivers could take the win. Ioannidis was hit from the back in the first corner, so he was out of contention as he dropped back in ninth position but made a good comeback run and finished fourth.
