Tha staff was quite disappointing to see just 12 drivers of 16 in track, also because only Corigliazzu told about his absence.
Since first free practise, it was clear that the fastest driver today was Gianpiero Baroni, also because of the last-minute absence of his teammate, Davide Corigliano.
Baroni took his pole position with a good advantage on his fastest opponent, Zingalus (Ferrari) and a good qualify also for GM Serra (Toro Rosso) and Sburroso (Force India).
After an exciting first lap, Sburroso took a really precious third place
In the back, Nieto e Bernard are still in trouble and didnt succeed to repeat the good lap times of test sessions.
At the start, Baroni was a quite slow and Zingalus and Serra overtook him. However it was clear that Serra was not so performing in race and at the end of the first lap Sburroso overtook him. In the In the firs corner, Nieto misses the brake point and touched his teammate Greg, while at corner 9 Bernard tried a reckless attack on Giaki Serra, hitting him and ruining his suspension.
Second lap, we had the pitstops of Bernard, Nieto and Greg, after accidents of first lap. However, in the track, Cardozo touched Iudicello and Vacca dabs Giaki Serra, who definitely retires.
One lap later, Iudicello and Cardozo pitted.
At 4th lap, Greg pitted for the second time.
In 6th lap, Bernard (control problems) and Nieto retires.
Seventh lap, there was the hardest accident of the race: Cardozo lost the control of his Red Bull and hitted the wall in corner 13. His RBR was almost destroyed, but the argentinian is ok.
After three laps of "nothing", from 10th to 13th lap we had the pitstops of Zingalus, Sburroso, Vacca, Serra, Greg and Baroni. The leader toched the white line pitting out, and it will cost him the win.

Two laps later, Smith make his pitstop.
Last laps were calm, with no challenges, except Greg who overtook Vacca for the 7th.
Last lap, Baroni won in front of Zingalus, Sburroso (great podium), Serra, Iudicello (consisting driver), Smith, Greg and Vacca (good 8th).
An hour after the race, the announce of the penalty chenged the classification with Zingaus first and Baroni second.
Consisting race for Iudicello, 5th at the end
During interview, Iudicello said:
"Considering all tests I made in Sepang circuit, where I took more than once 1.34, I had not been really satisfied today of my qualify, because of a less of concentration and feeling with a full-fuel car. However I should consider myself satisfied, also if I wasn't too fast in the single lap, because I finished in 5th, also if I started in 6th and had some contacts with other cars. I'm only a little bit sad because I would like to fight for the 4th position."
