Race One (25 minutes)

Saturday, 26/07/25, 15.25, Weather: Cloudy, 23°C

The first race of the weekend was eagerly awaited. Gino got off to a good start, but Nicolas managed to slip through on the inside and take the lead. His joy was short-lived, however, as Gino managed to reclaim first place around the next corner. Behind him, Max held onto third place, and Javier was battling hard with Mimassi. Mimassi managed to overtake Javier, putting Javier in fifth place. An accident in the midfield involving three cars meant the safety car had to take over the field. The clean-up took a long time, and the race was red-flagged. All cars returned to the pit lane. The restart then took place behind the safety car. Gino made no mistake, and Nicolas had no chance for an attack. Max held onto third place, and Javier managed to reclaim fourth place from Mimassi. Then a car got stuck in the gravel, and the safety car was deployed again. At the restart, all of our drivers held their positions and ultimately brought them across the finish line.

Race Two (25 minutes)

Sunday, 27/07/25, 10.45, Weather: Cloudy, 22°C

After a light rain overnight, the start of the second race on Sunday morning took place on a completely dry track. Gino got off to a very good start and took the lead, ahead of Nicolas, Max, and Javier, who defended their positions well. Behind them, Mimassi and Schranz went off the track, and Mimassi fell far behind. Schranz rejoined the field behind Javier. Walther managed to make up places in leaps and bounds. He also managed to overtake Schranz and was now in 5th place behind Javier. Gino drove swiftly and flawlessly, setting very fast lap times, heading for his second win of the weekend. Nicolas defended his second place and left Max no chance for an attack, even though he closed in on him in the second half of the race. Javier also came closer, but was also unable to launch an attack. Our drivers brought home places one to four cleanly in this race as well.

Race Three (25 minutes)

Sunday, 27/07/25, 15.20, Weather: Cloudy, 24°C

Gino had drawn the number 8 when drawing the number for the reverse starting order. This meant that the first eight from the result of the first race were reversed for the starting grid of the third race.
Shortly after the start there was an accident and the safety car had to be deployed. At the restart Javier had already shot up to 3^rd place. Max was right behind him in 4^th place. Gino was 6^th. Nicolas had to pit with a defective rear tire and then rejoined the race in 16^th place. At the restart there was a brief battle between Schranz and Nemec and Schranz took the lead. Javier was lying in wait and also attacked. He soon overtook Nemec and then passed Schranz in a great maneuver. This put Javier in the lead. Max followed and was now 2^nd ahead of Schranz and Mimassi. Behind him Gino overtook Nemec and moved up to 5^th place. Nicolas had battled his way forward place by place and was now in 10^th place. When a car spun off and got stuck with damage 6 minutes before the scheduled end of the race, the safety car took over the field once again. With time running out, race control decided to end the race with a red flag due to the extended cleanup effort. The race was thus finished behind the safety car, and the order of the race remained unchanged. Javier proudly celebrated his first victory in this category, and Max was the only one to climb onto the podium for the third time this weekend, this time in an excellent second place. This marked the end of a successful event.
