  • Perfect operation for Martinius Stenshorne (R-ace GP) this Saturday at the Hungaroring in Budapest this Saturday. After taking pole position, the Norwegian arrived at the finish in the lead, thus securing his second victory of the campaign but also first place in the standings.
  • However, everything did not start well for the R-ace GP driver, surprised at the start by Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema), 3e on the grid. Despite the situation, Martinius Stenshorne was patient and waited for a mistake from his Italian counterpart. An error which happened 18 minutes from the checkerboard when the protégé of Mercedes went too wide in turn 1.
  • Fallout 5e, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who also seemed to have problems with his car, offered the lead of Race 1 to Martinius Stenshorne who did not ask for as much. From then on, the Scandinavian was able to unfold while behind him Santiago Ramos (RPM) and Kas Haverkort (VAR) struggled for the 2e place. Finally, the Norwegian beat the last city by around 2 seconds. Ramos managed to hold on in 3e position to get his first podium in FRECA.
  • In the championship, the 25 points of victory allow Martinius Stenshorne to take the lead with 74 units ahead of Kas Haverkort by 6 lengths. Leader arriving in Hungary, Tim Tramnitz (R-ace GP) finished 8e and goes back to 4e rank in the general classification, 12 points behind his teammate.
