[2] Briton Jamie Chadwick took pole position but the race was won by Dutch driver Beitske Visser, who took an early lead and was able to hold on to it despite two safety car periods.

[3] Following her victory in the previous round, Jamie Chadwick entered the weekend with a 7-point lead over fellow Briton Alice Powell, with a further 3 point gap back to Spain's Marta García.

All representative times were set early, with Visser outpacing Chadwick by three tenths of a second ahead of Marta García and Tasmin Pepper; the South African improving from 18th in the opening session.

The flag-waving marshal at the back of the field gave the all clear, but Bovy managed to restart her car and drive into her last-placed grid slot before the light sequence.

Visser remained in the lead from Chadwick, however at the end of the lap Esmee Hawkey made an ambitious move on Rdest at the Bolderbergbocht for 7th, with the pair tangling wheels and crashing out of the race.

In the lead up to the same corner, Sabré Cook bumped into the rear wheel of Vivien Keszthelyi, sending the Hungarian reserve driver into the barriers and also out of the race.

At the flag however, it was Visser who won her first open-wheel race since 2013 ahead Chadwick and Powell (the winner from Hockenheim victorious in the battle of the Brits), followed by the group of García, Moore, Pepper and Wohlwend, the latter having regained time in the closing laps.
