Nikola Tsolov took the first feature race victory of the F2 season, beating Rafael Camera at Melbourne's Albert Park Circuit by 1.6 seconds.
Laurens van Hoepen rounded out the top three in the support event ahead of the Australian Grand Prix.
Oliver Geothe and Ritomo Miyata completed the top five in a twice-disrupted 33-lap contest.
Firstly, Rodin team-mates Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne, who were leading at the time, came together heading into the first corner after the former cut across the latter just before the braking zone, triggering a double retirement and a safety car.
Then, Dino Beganovic, who qualified on pole, saw his DAMS Lucas Oil machine come to a stop with reliability issues, which prompted a VSC period.
Prior to the start, Sebastian Montoya pulled out straight into Roman Bilinski in the pit lane, causing damage to the other DAMS Lucas Oil car.
