The third race was held on March 17 in an eastern Czech town named Trutnov. Thirty-two drivers participated in this race. The carpet track measured 24x16m, and was improved with plastic perimeter barriers which prevented the cars from flying off the track. Plus, the track had more cups in corners in order to see them better. RCA DDM Trutnov is the only club in the Czech Republic, where the race on the carpet is always held and moreover there is also an asphalt track.
