Barcelona – Race 2: Wharton still untouchable, Câmara crowned
  • Perfect weekend for James Wharton (Prema) for the FRECA visit to Barcelona. After his pole position and victory the day before, and his pole position this Sunday morning, the Australian hammered the nail in the afternoon with a new success, his 4th in 2024 to complete a faultless meeting.
  • Like the day before, the former protégé of Ferrari perfectly negotiated his start and the first few turns to quickly take an option on the final victory. Although a safety car that intervened on the first lap forced him to make all his efforts again, James Wharton did not hesitate to put another blow behind the head of his rivals. Alone in the world, he flew towards the finish line, crossed with more than 5 seconds in advance and above all without ever being threatened. Alessandro Giusti (ART Grand Prix) and Pedro Clerot (VAR) completed the podium.
  • But the main news of this Race 2 is none other than that of the title of Rafael Câmara (Prema). Undisputed leader of this 2024 vintage, the Brazilian took advantage of the unfortunate retirement in the first lap of his runner-up Tuukka Taponen (R-ace GP) to secure the crown. Fourth under the checkered flag and now with a 60-point lead over James Wharton, new 2nd, he can no longer be caught, thus succeeding Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the FRECA prize list.
