Ladygin and Bragin pulled away, while behind them there was a close battle between Mityaev, Maslennikov, Lukashevich and Burlutskyi. Fatkhutdinov and Gavrilov clashed and the latter spun, dropping several places. In the second part of the race, Ladygin created a small gap ahead of Bragin who successfully defended the second place from Mityaev. Radoshnov started from pole on the reversed grid for Race 2 and led the way from Dudukalo, while Gavrilov had a slow start from fourth and dropped behind Lukashevich. Gavrilov regained P4 and Maslennikov passed Lukaschevich for P5. On lap 8, the battle up front heated up. Gavrilov took P2 from Dudukalo who developed a puncture and retired, and this promoted Maslennikov to third. On the penultimate lap, Gavrilov stole the lead from Radoshnov who tried to fight back, but lost speed through the final corner and allowed Maslennikov up the inside. Gavrilov held on to win from Maslennikov and Radoshnov; however the VRC-Team driver was given a 3- second penalty for clashing with Dudukalo and dropped to fourth, with Maslennikov inheriting victory and Radoshnov and Lukashevich moving into second and third. The next event of TCR Russia will be at Smolensk on September 5/6.
