In the main championship,[20] he got a podium in the first round at Aragón and collected six podiums – including five second places in six races – before getting his maiden car racing win in the first race at Jerez, the fifth round of the series.[21] Eyckmans achieved his final win in the last race of the season in Barcelona and ended the championship runner-up and was the highest finishing rookie.[22]
