The race debuted in 2012; the first race saw the Lukoil Racing SEAT León driver Gabriele Tarquini take victory after the qualifying winner Norbert Michelisz slipped down in the field, only to be pushed out by Yvan Muller. The first race saw a first podium for Alexey Dudukalo, the Russian driver teammate of Tarquini in the Lukoil Racing team.

Race 2 was won by Robert Huff, his first win for the season.
