Poleman after setting the best time during the second qualifying session, Michael Belov (G4 Racing) won alone at Spa in a race marked by rain and off-track events.

The start postponed by one lap, Michael Belov managed as best he could to retain the lead while Hadrien David (R-Ace GP) tried to sneak past after taking advantage of the misfortunes of his teammate Isack Hadjar who was stalling on the grid.

Then followed two very lively first laps where Zane Maloney (R-Ace GP) made life difficult for Hadrien David by cheating on him in Les Combes to settle behind Michael Belov.

Unfortunately, the poor conditions quickly took over, trapping several drivers and forcing the safety car to intervene on the track with 20 minutes to go.

After more than 13 minutes of neutralization, Michael Belov restarted the race perfectly by remaining in control ahead of the two R-Ace GP drivers.

In difficult driving conditions, the situation will no longer really change, allowing the Russian to convert his pole into victory, his first of the year, ahead of Hadrien David and Zane Maloney.

After a failed start, Isack Hadjar finished in 7th place, 20 seconds behind Belov.
