In Heat 1, Mattias Ekström was simply flying. The Swedish driver won his race and lead the field setting the best time overall, 02:49.587.
The other Audi drivers were further behind. Robin Larsson with his #4 Audi A1 was eighteenth. Anton Marklund driving the second entry from EKS was ninteenth with his #92 Audi S1. Bad luck again hit again the ALL-INKL Münnich Motorsport's Audi S3 RXs. Alx Danielsson ended in twenty-fifth place with his #55 Audi S3. Team-owner René Münnich got a DNF with his #77 Audi S3.
