Qualifying

Saturday, 11/06/2021, 18.25 – 19.00, Weather: Overcast, 17°C

This year the series regulations allow for two 15-minute qualifying sessions, with a break of 5 minutes in between. The fastest lap time for each driver in session 1 sets the grid for Race One and the fastest lap time in the second session is used to set the starting positions for Race Two. The grid for Race Three is determined by the results of Race Two, with the first eight finishers starting in reverse order.

Race One (30 minutes)

Saturday, 10/07/2021, 11.50, Weather: Overcast, 19°C

Francesco was 11^th after the first lap. Francesco then defended this place during long laps. The drivers found that the track was very dirty from the sand of the dunes and did not show much grip off the ideal line. They experienced that every overtaking maneuver posed a risk on the slippery surface. Dufek later managed to overtake Francesco. After a safety car phase, Francesco was back in 11^th place, and thus within reach of the top ten. When Meguetounif landed in the gravel bed towards the end of the race, Francesco moved up to 10^th place, which he then held on to until the finish line. Jorge drove in the same position for a long time, later moved up a few places and managed to get past Weug shortly before the end of the race. This secured him 17^th place.

Francesco was in 15^th place after the first lap. He held this place during long laps. After a safety car phase, Laursen appeared in his rear-view mirrors. Francesco came off the track and flew violently over the curbs. He stopped at the edge of the track with a damaged vehicle. The safety car took over the field. Jorge was doing well when Weug tried to overtake him, which didn't turn out well for her as she spun off track. Jorge fell back to 22^nd place after this incident. By the end of the race he had worked his way up to 18^th place again.

Jorge got off to a good start and soon moved up to 17^th place. Francesco, whose vehicle was fully operational again for the third race after the damage in the morning, was also advancing and was already in 19^th place. Levente braked hard going into a right turn and Jorge quickly caught up with him on the inside. Al Quabisi probably saw a chance to push past and left Jorge no space when she closed the door coming from the outside. There was a collision and the two cars spun into the gravel. Behind them, Francesco had braked, and Catalano, who was traveling at full speed, hit Francesco's rear wheel and went over it to land in the gravel too. He had torn the rear wing from Francesco’s car. This meant that four vehicles were out of action at once and the race for these drivers was already over on lap three.
