Before we even left for the 5th and last round in Odense, had Claus Ryeskov secured the championship due to him winning the previous 4 rounds.
After the qualifying rounds it was once again Claus Ryeskov taking TQ ahead of Micheal Johnson and Thomas Mortensen. Martin Christensen was also attending the final round for the first time in many years, setting very fast lap times in qualifying but had a bit of bad luck and would have to start from 4th.

At the start of the final Claus got a clean start with Micheal Johnsen and Thomas Mortensen right behind. Martin Christensen was off to a flying start until on the 2nd lap was actually flying and ended up upside down on the grass after a rare mistake. On the 5th lap, Thomas capitalized on a mistake form Micheal and moved into 2nd and took chase after Claus and the 1st position, once he caught up a lack of patience saw him force an overtaking maneuver where there was no room, the resulting crash saw Thomas ending up on the grass in need of assistance from his mechanic.

As all the action was up the front, Martin Christensen was driving super fast and aggressive making up for his early mistake and quickly moved into 1st position, from here he drove a controlled race all the way to the finish line, with Claus Ryeskov in 2nd. 3rd 4th and 5th place was fought all the way to the line, only 2 seconds between the 3 drivers with Michael Johnsen in 3rd, Rasmus B Nielsen 4th and Thomas Mortensen 5th.
