FR 2.0 – C2: Max Fewtrell as the undisputed winner

Starting from pole position, Max Fewtrell (R-Ace GP) does not tremble this time and keeps the lead of the race in front of Ye Yifei (Josef Kafmann) and Logan sargeant (R-Ace GP). Just behind, Christian Lundgaard (MP Motorsport) wins an internal battle between drivers Renault taking the best out of Victor martins (R-Ace GP).

While the positions are frozen at the head of the race, a contact putting Clément Novalak (Josef Kaufmann) on the mat involves the entry of the safety car for 12 minutes during which Sargeant suffers a gearbox problem and is forced abandonned.

Fewtrell easily manages the restart and easily holds Ye and Lundgaard until the checkered flag. Victor Martins finishes 4e of the event in front of Richard Verschoor (Josef Kaufmann). Three Australians follow the march with Oscar piastri (Arden), Thomas Maxwell (JD Motorsport) and Alex Peroni (MP Motorsport) between 6th and 8th place. Neil Verhagen (Tech 1) and Max Defourny (MP Motorsport) complete the top 10.

Charles Miles (R-Ace GP) finishes 12e of the race, Arthur Rougier (Fortec Motorsport) crosses the line in 15e place, two positions in front Thomas neubauer (Tech 1).

At the end of this first meeting of the season, Fewtrell has a lead of ten points over Ye and eighteen over Sargeant and Lundgaard.
