Bermingrud’s role was the only real incident of the third heat, although the TouringCars producing a rough and tumble first corner incident in which Robin Larsson’s Skoda was stripped of some body panels. Ole Håbjørg was black flagged for his part in the incident. Larsson rejoined and continued until the engine in his car died in the last lap, his misery added to when Kim Steinsholt decided to drive over the Skoda’s  rear three-quarter panel that been lying in the road and avoided by all other drivers until the last lap.
