The Supercup got to Mexico for another incredible race that inflamed the Championship rankings and provided assurance of an explosive end of season. Liam Hatchell racked up another pole in qualifying, with Chris Williamson edging out Christoph Lichtenstein, Mark Stanton and new teammate Tim-Oliver Wagner for 2nd.

Stanton got a good start and got up the inside of Hatchell at T1, while Williamson slipped back leaving Lichtenstein 3rd and battling hard with Sam Millar. Stanton and Hatchell swapped places several times before Stanton span, dropping the Constant Racing driver to the back of the field. Lichtenstein quickly closed in on Hatchell and used his straight line speed advantage to take the lead.

Attrition took its toll with Millar, Wagner, Stanton and Nikos Evangelidakis all forced to retire in separate accidents in the space of a few laps. Hatchell later span and limped home with a badly damaged car, which allowed Lichtenstein to cruise to an easy win ahead of Jason Muscat and Williamson.
