Eric De Doncker (#98 Motorsport 98 Ford Mustang) was fastest among the Challengers and also topped the ELITE 2 Division charts with a 1:34.391 lap that placed him ahead of two-time pole sitter Guillaume Dumarey (#24 PK Carsport Chevrolet SS), who led the final practice session in 1:34.536 and was fastest among the rookies.

Ulysse Delsaux (#3 Tepac RDV Compétition Toyota Camry), points leader Thomas Ferrando (#37 Knauf Racing Team Ford Mustang) and Justin Kunz (#11 PK Carsport Chevrolet SS) completed the top-5.
