Despite the impossibility of scoring points this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps due to his commitment to F4 Spain, Hugh Barter is not slowing down. Author of the two pole positions and winner on the track of Race 1 this Friday, the championship leader is back this Saturday by winning in front of Souta Arao and Alessandro Giusti.

Very well off to a good start, Hugh Barter quickly slowed down the pace after the Safety Car intervened in the first seconds of the race following an incident at La Source. Without much difficulty, the native of Nagoya (Japan) revived the pack and did not have to defend his position against Souta Arao or Alessandro Giusti, his same pursuers since the start of the season.

While he was in master's degree, a 2e The intervention of the safety car definitively put an end to the race since it was going to end under Safety Car regime. Although winner on the track, Hugh Barter returns empty-handed since it is Souta Arao who gleans the 25 points for first place while Alessandro Giusti takes 18 for 2e place at the end of a very calm race without the slightest overtaking in the Top 6.

In the championship, Hugh Barter remains at the top of the standings while Souta Arao takes back 2e place ahead of Alessandro Giusti.
