Race One (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Saturday, 21/06/25, 10.40, Weather: Sunny, 28 °C

By the start of the first race, the temperature had already risen to around 30 degrees Celsius. The large field set off, and as usual, the first chicane formed a dangerous bottleneck. Enea was pushed, spun sideways, and flew off the track with another car. Bart and Popov collided in the same phase of the race, and Bart was forced to retire in the pit lane with a damaged car. The safety car took over the field. At the restart, Teo was in 13^th place, Bader was 16^th, and Artem 17^th. Javier was in 34^th place. Artem and Bader fought for positions. At one point, Artem was in front, then Bader again. The battle intensified, and the two collided. Artem had to go to the pit lane with a damaged front wing, where a new part was fitted. Of course, he was only able to rejoin the race far back in the field. Teo had worked his way up to 11^th place, but after another restart, he fell back to 13^th. Bader, on the other hand, had moved up to 14^th. Javier had worked his way up to 21^st place, and Artem began his chase for postions from 32^nd place. After a third restart, some hectic final laps followed. In the end, Bader crossed the finish line in 12^th place, Teo in 16^th, Artem in 29^th, and Javier in 31^st. After the race, some drivers received a time penalty, which moved our drivers up one place each.

Race Two (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Saturday, 21/06/25, 17.55, Weather: Sunny, 31°C

The start procedure was repeated after a car stopped on the warm-up lap. There was a considerable delay before things finally got going again. Fierce battles for position began immediately, and the first accident on the third lap brought out the safety car. A long time passed before the restart. Bart was now in 7^th place, Artem was 8^th, and Enea 13^th. Teo was in 19^th, Javier was 26^th, and Bader 28^th. Artem was close behind Bart, but couldn't find a way past. Behind Artem, other drivers began to press, and with a few laps to go, some attempted attacks. Teo was involved in an accident. He lost his front wing and came to a stop off the track. Olivieri fell back after an attack on Sammalisto, and unfortunately collected Artem. The two came to a stop off the track with damage. Bart was sandwiched and couldn't avoid contact. As a result, Artem and Bart lost their excellent top-ten positions shortly before the finish. Enea avoided all accidents and crossed the finish line in a great 9^th place. Bader also took the checkered flag, this time in 19^th place. Also Javier brought his car to the finish line safely, finishing in 21^st place. After the race, some time penalties were handed out and the result changed slightly.

Race Three (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Sunday, 27/10/24, 10.25, Weather: Sunny, 27°C

The third race started again in beautiful sunshine and already hot temperatures. The field seemed to be making good progress through the chicane, but further down the field an accident occurred. The safety car was deployed. At the restart, Bart was 5^th, Artem 13^th, Enea 15^th, Teo 17^th, Bader 19^th, and Javier 20^th. Teo was found to have jumped the start, and he served a stop & go penalty. This dropped him to 32nd place. At the restart, Bart was caught in a pincer movement and dropped back to 8^th place. Artem moved up to 11^th, Enea was 14^th, Bader 16^th, and Javier 17^th. The restart lap was not yet over when there was another accident, and the safety car was deployed again immediately. At the new restart, there were still 7 minutes of racing time left. Bart managed a very good restart this time and moved up to 6^th place. Artem had also made a great start and was now in 9^th place, with Enea right behind him in 10^th. Bader was 13^th and Javier 17^th. At the restart, the same thing happened as before. The restart lap hadn't even finished when another accident occurred, and the safety car was deployed for the third time. At the restart, there was exactly one lap left until the checkered flag! Bart managed to gain one place and finish in a superb 4^th place. Artem brought home an excellent 7^th place, which also meant 3^rd place on the podium in the rookie classification. Enea crossed the finish line right behind Artem in 8^th place. Javier finished the race in 14^th and Bader in 15^th. Teo made up a few places, finishing 23^rd.
After the race, several penalties were handed out. This meant that Bart took third place overall! Artem moved up to sixth place, and Enea to seventh. Javier, in his first outing in the Italian Championship, earned a point with tenth place. Bader narrowly missed the top ten with eleventh place.
Thus, the weekend ended with an excellent team performance for us!
