Championship leader Andy Soucek won race 1 at Donington, and Julien Jousse took his first victory of the season in race 2.

Race 1: Spaniard Andy Soucek became the first driver to achieve three race victories this season after a comfortable win in race one.

Starting from third on the grid, Soucek made a fantastic getaway to lead into the first corner, whilst polesitter Tobias Hegewald dropped down to third behind Mikhail Aleshin. Soucek continued to pull a gap on his rivals behind, setting his fastest lap towards the end of the race, which he went on to win comfortably by nearly ten seconds.

Race 2: Frenchman Julien Jousse, who started on pole position, took a dominant maiden victory in race two at Donington.

Jousse made a teriffic getaway as the lights turned green, and Kazim Vasiliauskas battled his way through behind him to take second as Sebastian Hohenthal dropped to fourth behind Mirko Bortolotti. The top three remained the same until the chequered flag, as Bortolotti produced a superb defensive display to hold a charging Andy Soucek at bay.
