The rules allow for two qualifying sessions of 15 minutes, with a 10-minute break in between. The Qualifying 1 times determine the grid for Race 1 and the times from Qualifying 2 determine the grid for Race 2. The starting order for Race 3 is based on the 2^nd best lap time of each driver in either of the two qualifying sessions.

During the qualifying sessions, the sun beat down hotly on Paul Ricard. Our drivers managed a good first qualifying session, but in the second session they got lost in traffic and did not improve enough.

Race One (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Saturday, 19/07/25, 16.35, Weather: Cloudy, 30°C

After a cloudy morning, the sun shone in full force again in the afternoon, and the temperature rose to 30°C by the start of the race. Enea held on to 6^th place after the start, but was soon harassed and then overtaken by Francot. Powell also pushed forward, and as Enea and Powell battled, they collided in one of the next corners. The two ended up off the track with damaged vehicles, and their race was already over. And with that, of course, the chance of a top place was lost. Bart didn't get off to a good start and joined the race in 26^th place. Bader held on well to 21^st place and Teo was 26^th. Bart began a brave fightback and steadily improved his position. As the race progressed, he worked his way up to a respectable 12^th place. Bader had already moved up to 16^th place when he collided with another competitor. He then got a new front wing in the pit lane and rejoined the race. Bader crossed the finish line in 23^rd place. Teo put in a good drive and steadily gained positions, bringing his car home in a respectable 14^th place.

Race Two (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Sunday 20/07/25, 11.00, Weather: Wolkig, 27°C

It was already oppressively hot on Sunday morning at the start of the second race. On the first lap, everyone was frantically trying to make up places. Enea went off the track a few times but managed to hold on to 10^th place in the end. Bart moved up to 14^th, and soon after, he appeared in 13^th. Teo gained and lost places in quick succession and was then running in 18^th place. Bader had worked his way up to 16^th. Things calmed down a bit in the middle part of the race. But in the final laps, the field started to move up again. Enea overtook Chi for 9^th place. Bart had overtaken Hanna and was close to Kostic. A few laps later, Bart managed to overtake Kostic and secure 10^th place. This meant that two of our drivers reached the top ten and scored points. Bader crossed the finish line in 17^th place, and Teo came home right behind him in 18^th.

After the race, several drivers received time penalties for various offenses. As a result, Enea moved up one place, Bader moved up one place in the rookie standings, climbing to the third step of the podium in that classification, and Teo also moved up one place in the overall standings.

Race Three (30 minutes + 1 lap)

Sunday, 20/07/25, 17.25, Weather: Sunny, 26°C

After a long afternoon, the final race of the weekend got off to a slightly delayed start. The sun was shining, and it was still 28°C. The start was good, and the battle for position began immediately. Enea shot forward and took 9^th place. A long battle for positions ensued, with Enea claiming 8^th place in the final seconds. Bart also got off to a good start and had already moved up to 12^th. Teo gained places and was now 14^th. Bader had moved up to 18^th place, but after a collision with another driver, he had to pit with a flat tire. Equipped with a new tire, he finished the race in 25^th place. Bart also fell back to 17^th after a tough battle, but he held on to a strong finish at the end of the race. Teo gained and lost places, ultimately bringing home 15^th place.
