Eric Cheung (Formula Racing) returned to winning ways for the first time since Race-1 in Valencia, ahead of Christian Kinch (Gohm Motorsport) and Ken Abe (Formula Racing). Victory was never in question for the Canadian driver, while behind him the Swedish and Japanese drivers fought a fascinating duel. Kinch put yesterday’s race behind him in the ideal way, while the Japanese clinched his first podium of the season, after many near misses. Ernst Kirchmayr had a weekend to forget, retiring due to an accident at the start of both races. Similarly, James Weiland, winner of yesterday’s race, retired after an early crash today.
Poleman Thomas Neubauer made up for his unfortunate debut at Imola with a brilliant victory in Race-1 at Barcelona. Matúš Výboh secured an unexpected win in the Trofeo Pirelli Am, taking advantage of a mistake by Olivier Groetz on the last lap to seal his third consecutive victory.
Louis Prette (Formula Racing) triumphed in the 30-minute race after masterfully protecting the lead he had built up early on over Bjorn Grossmann (Octane 126) and Adam Carroll (Ferrari Budapest). There were few surprises during the 15 laps, with a special mention for Thomas Neubauer (Charles Pozzi – Courage), who started from ninth because of the Grid Handicap but finished fifth behind Lennart Marioneck (Gohm Motorsport). Race-1 winner Niccolò Schirò (Rossocorsa) made a great start, before battling with Sam Smeeth (Baron Motorsport) and Neubauer to cross the line in sixth.
The Pirelli Trophy race started in the early afternoon but was immediately characterized by a series of accidents, thanks to the wet asphalt due to the rain that fell throughout the morning. David Fumanelli, who started from pole position, ended up spinning, and triggered the chaos behind. In fact, some drivers went wide to avoid hitting Rossocorsa's 488 Challenge. Among them the German Thomas Loefflad (Gohm Motorsport BB) who just got on the wheels on extraturf lost control of his 488 Challenge and ended up violently against the barriers. The race has long been suspended with a red flag and is resumed only an hour later. On the second via Nielsen (Formula Racing) he managed to maintain the first position ahead of Florian Merckx (Baron Motorsport) and Bjorn Grossmann (Octane 126) who soon managed to take the second position. Nielsen remains the championship leader with a few points ahead of Grossmann.
