Race calendar and results

The race calendar consisted of a 4-race event held at the Snetterton 300. The weekend format includes a 20-minute qualifying session and two 12-lap races on both Saturday and Sunday. The grid for the first race in each day was set in qualifying order, with starting positions for race two of each day set by the fastest laps from race one.

Due to adverse weather, the Sunday qualifying wasn't held and the two races were shortened to 8 laps. For race 3, the drivers were classified on the grid by championship order. Race 4 was ultimately cancelled due to the conditions worsening.
