FR 2.0 – C1: Robert Shwartzman first winner in Barcelona

At the beginning, Gabriel Aubry (Tech 1 Racing) takes the advantage over Sacha fenestraz (Josef Kaufmann) for winning 3e place. In the second lap, Max Defourny (R-Ace GP) threatens Max Fewtrell (Tech 1) and passes him while the driver Renault is in battle with Richard Verschoor (MP Motorsport), the Briton then forced to retire.

The Belgian from R-Ace GP does not stop there and quickly catches up with the championship leader. The Frenchman still manages to keep the advantage while Richard Verschoor joins the battle for 4e place on a circuit where it is difficult to overtake. In the meantime, Robert Schwartzman (R-Ace GP) takes the lead in the race ahead of his teammate Will Palmer. Positions do not change at the front until the end of the race.

Robert Shwartzman wins his 5e race of the season, his first as a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy. Thanks to its 2e place, Will Palmer maintains his chances of titles until the last two races of the season. 

Gabriel Aubry finishes 3e before Sacha fenestraz who manages to escape at the end of the race against Defourny and Verschoor, the Belgian losing the advantage against the Dutchman on the last lap. Neil Verhagen finished in 8e position in front of the wild cards Logan sargeant (R-Ace GP) and Charles Miles (R-Ace GP). Raul Guzman (R-Ace GP) completes the top 10 in the first race of the weekend.
