Having claimed two pole positions already this weekend, Tobias Hegewald has gone on to take Saturday's race victory in Belgium. The German crossed the line first at Spa to win Race 1 ahead of Andy Soucek and Miloš Pavlovic.
The race got off to a dramatic start when Robert Wickens failed to get away at the start. It looked as though the whole pack would be able to avoid him but Jason Moore collected him at high speed, spreading the track with debris.
The safety car was brought out for two laps. At the restart, Soucek tried desperately to get past Hegewald but ended up running off the circuit, although he held on to his second place. Pavlovic managed to overtake Julien Jousse and the two enjoyed a race-long battle.
Philipp Eng and Alex Brundle both retired after coming together in an incident that also involved Jolyon Palmer. Palmer suffered wing damage and eventually dropped down the order.
At the flag, Hegewald led by four seconds from Soucek, with Pavlovic third, Jousse fourth, Jack Clarke fifth, Tom Gladdis sixth, Henri Karjalainen seventh and Edoardo Piscopo eighth.
