The race began at 15:00 local time, under light rain. All the drivers got through the first lap with intermediate weather tyres fitted. Czesława Pajor span off on her cold tyres at turn six; over the course of the race she recovered from the back to place eleventh at her team's home grand prix. Two backmarker drivers, Metropol's Leo Arntsen and Tamradh Monsal's Aedan Jaosar Lanfie, retired in quick succession due to mechanical issues.
After ten laps, the rain let up and the track began to dry. Novia Racing brought in the [[West Borean Federation|West Borean]] rookie Kasran is'Vaara to put on slick tyres on lap twelve. Initially he struggled on the still-wet surface, but soon began posting fastest sectors, prompting the rest of the pack to pit, including his teammate, Matthieu Soyer, who collided with [[Mirhaime|Mirhaimian]] driver Alfie Edarr Samatagh on pit exit, consequently breaking his front wing and forcing a second pit stop in as many laps. He recovered from last into the points-scoring places over the following 45 laps, eventually recording his second worst finish of the season of ninth place, behind the Morstaybishlian Grand Prix five months later, where he would be crashed out by Bernitti-Domio's Pablo Saez and his title rival Marlan Kalming.
The race was won by Pedro Wilson of Bernitti-Domio. This was his second win, and his first since moving from [[Spiiker|Spiiker Squadron]] before the start of the season, as well as Bernitti-Domio's first since Luigi Dellucci's victory at Staynes in [[2021 Series One World Championship|2021]]. Marlan Kalming came second, narrowing Soyer's championship lead by 16 points, and [[Aivintis|Aivintian]] driver Stefan Amanar scored his first podium and best result of the season at his team's first home race.
