FRAC – Race 2: Solid victory for Patrik Pasma in Dubai

The days follow each other and are not the same for Isack Hadjar. The day after his first victory of the season, the Frenchman had a complicated start this Sunday morning at the Dubai Autodrome. Tenth on the grid, the Hitech driver dropped to fifteenth place. Another difficult start, that of Danilo van't Hoff (Pinnacle Motorsport), who stalled when starting from third position. Up front, the good operation was to the benefit of Patrik Pasma. The Evans GP driver emerged from the first corner in first position, ahead of Oliver Bearman (Mumbai Falcons) and Francesco Braschi (3Y Technology). The race was quickly interrupted by a Safety Car when Hamda Al Qubaisi (Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema) stopped at the side of the track on the start-finish straight.

On the restart, Pasma managed to increase his lead over Bearman, creating a margin of more than two seconds. It was more complicated for Braschi. Despite a valiant defense, the one who started in first position at the start had to give in successively to Jak Crawford and Pepe Marti. Bearman and Crawford then engaged in a fierce battle for second place. In their battle, the two teammates at Prema in Formula 3 let Pasma race towards victory. Crawford finally managed to get the better of Bearman, but had to settle for second position, more than seven seconds behind the Finnish winner.
