The Clarke-Kimball-Watts battle could have been for seventh spot had it not come to its messy end, but it allowed another British series regular, Christian Bakkerud to complete his Macau debut in seventh spot. That put the Dane ahead of race veteran Paolo Montin, while another rookie - and one with far less F3 experience - Romain Grosjean took ninth ahead of Franck Perera, who up and down weekend was largely undone by a poor qualifying race result, and only saw him finish just ahead of fellow Frenchman Guillaume Moreau.
Moreau headed home former Macau podium finisher Fabio Carbone by nearly three seconds, while Karl Reindler got the better of Britain's Mike Conway, who had run near the front in the early stages only to be undone by an incident not long afterwards. di Grassi's Manor team-mate for the weekend, Conway eventually claimed 14th spot, ahead of the assorted Macanese runners, headed by Michael Ho, with Daisuke Ikeda and the luckless Steven Kane completing the listed finishers.
Joining Watts, Kimball and Clarke on the sidelines, Stephen Jelley completed a poor day for the British speakers, while Bruno Senna added a second opening lap retirement to the one earned in the qualifying race.Cheong Lou Meng, Naoki Yokomizo, Kohei Hirate and Filip Salaquarda also failed to see the chequered flag.
