Prema Powerteam driver Juan Manuel Correa had a bad start, causing a back-up of karts behind him, including Gary Carlton. Jeff Kingsley got away from the pack with Correa in second and Carlton able to earn the third spot: Rubens Barrichello showed promise early, but did not have the pace to keep a much faster Carlton behind him as the Formula K driver was finally able to get back all of the spots he lost early.
