C1: Fewtrell wins a race interrupted by rain

Starting from pole position, Max Fewtrell (R-Ace GP) was able to keep Richard Verschoor (Josef Kaufmann) and Lorenzo Colombo (JD Motorsport) behind him at the start and then at the restart after the safety car caused by the stop of Clement Novalak (Josef Kaufmann) on the track following a collision.

At the restart, the two strong men are Neil Verhagen (Tech 1) and Thomas Maxwell (JD Motorsport) who make a comeback towards the big points. The race went smoothly until, ten minutes before the checkered flag, a storm hit the circuit and forced the marshals to end the race prematurely.

This gives Max Fewtrell a third victory this season ahead of Richard Verschoor and Lorenzo Colombo. Neil Verhagen ranks 4e ahead of the MP Motorsport of Christian Lundgaard andOscar piastri.

Thomas Maxwell finished in 7the place ahead of championship leader Yifei Ye (Josef Kaufmann). The French carry out a group shot with Victor martins (R-Ace GP) who is ahead of his teammate Charles Miles et Arthur Rougier (Fortec) which signs its best result with an 11e instead. Thomas neubauer (Tech 1) did not see the end of the first round.
