Starting from pole position, the Briton led all 20 laps of the final race of the weekend.

The only speed bumps he was forced to deal with on the way to victory were two safety car periods, the first coming when Timothe Buret was left stranded at Turn 5 on Lap 2, the second when Nicolas Dapero beached himself at Turn 1 four laps from the end.

But Norris was able to comfortably see off reigning Spirit of a Nation winner Brendon Leitch, winning by nearly one second after a two-lap sprint to the finish from the final green flag.

Artem Markelov finished third ahead of Ferdinand Habsburg, with Devlin de Francesco rounding out the Top 5.

The win moves points leader Norris onto 380, with Markelov second on 346 points, and Habsburg third with 303.
