Nooren and Beelen won races at Nogaro and the Red Bull Ring, as well as taking a total of ten podium finishes from the twelve races. Huisman was a three-time race winner, sharing one victory with Luc Braams and two with Sandor van Es. Third place in the Pro championship standings went to Peter Ebner and Sascha Halek, who also won three races during the season. The other Pro class wins were shared between Carsten Struwe and Peter Terting (sweeping the Nürburgring round), while the pairings of Bernhard van Oranje and Ricardo van der Ende (Racing Team Holland by Ekris Motorsport), and Marcus Clutton and Jordan Witt (Chevron Cars) each took one victory.
