Fraga's bad luck was Ricardo Maurici luck, who had stopped after problems in Race 1 and saved tires and pushes for Race 2. He got the victory in Rio Grande do Sul, his first in the year.
Antonio Pizzonia was the second and gave the first podium to Prati this year. He triumphed in a duel for second place with Sergio Jimenez, Felipe Lapenna and Tuka Rocha. Everyone did the same strategy as Ricardinho.
