* Qualifying

Only three competitors did a qualifying run for this first event of the season. Phoenix seems to be the "oh no" track for many of the drivers. DutchTEK's Marcel Offermans set the first pole of the season and was rewarded with 20 points. Offermans, Leighton and Wallwork could gain valuable points if only those three start the race.
