Race One (30 Min + 1 lap)

Saturday, 14/03/26, 14.05, Weather: Rainy, 10°C

It rained all morning, but stopped before the first race of the weekend started. This made for difficult conditions; the track was drying, mostly slippery, but still very wet in some places. Despite this, Levi and Teo had a fantastic first lap, both gaining several positions. Levi was in 7^th place, and Teo was already in 10^th. Markas and Georgiy had also improved their positions. Markas was now 20^th and Georgiy 23^rd. Soon after, there was an accident, and the safety car was deployed. After the restart, things got hectic. Levi ran wide and went through the gravel, and Teo made the same mistake. This dropped Levi back to 18^th and Teo to 20^th. Both slowly started to regain a few places. Levi worked his way up to 12^th by the end. But Teo went off the track another time and this time got stuck in the gravel bed. This brought out the safety car once more. Georgiy and Markas battled fiercely for positions during the race. Georgiy crossed the finish line in 16^th place, and Markas finished right behind him in 17^th.

Sunday, 15/03/26, 10.15, Weather: Sunny, 9°C

The sun shone again on Sunday morning to conclude the 2026 FWS Winter Series, though it was still quite chilly. Bansal stalled at the start, and unfortunately, Teo crashed directly into him. There was some damage, but thankfully both drivers escaped unharmed. The safety car led the field for the next few laps. At the restart, there was another collision, and the safety car was immediately deployed again, taking over the field once more. Levi had performed exceptionally well and had moved up to fourth place. He held on in the fierce battles for positions that ensued in the final laps. He ultimately crossed the finish line in an excellent sixth place, securing third place in the rookie standings. Markas and Georgiy managed to gain ground during the race and at each restart. Markas crossed the finish line in twelfth place after a clean drive. Georgiy also had a strong race, finishing in 14^th place.
