Race One (30 Min + 1 lap)

Saturday, 01/03/25, 14.10, Weather: Overcast, 11°C

The starting lap of the first race of the weekend was eventful. There was a fierce battle for positions right away. Bart had held onto 3rd place and was moving forward. Then Rehm pushed from behind and the two collided. Bart's front wing flew off and Rehm was stranded with a flat tire. Unfortunately, that meant the race was over for both of them. What a pity! There were various accidents throughout the field, but none led to a safety car phase. The race continued smoothly. Enea was in 7^th place and Artem was right behind him in 8^th place. The two drove very fast lap times. Enea defended his position until the end and gave Artem no chance for a successful attack, even though the two drove next to each other at times. Artem finished 8^th and took 3^rd place on the podium in the rookie classification. Alba got off to a good start and managed to avoid all accidents. After a few position changes with Borenstein, she fought her way past him and reached the finish line in a good 16^th place. After the race, there were time penalties for not adhering to the track limits, and Alba slipped up to 14^th place in the result.

Race Two (30 Min + 1 lap)

Sunday, 02/03/25, 10.15, Weather: Drizzly, 4°C

It was wet and cold on Sunday morning. There was no question about the tyres, everyone chose rain tyres. The track was very slippery and would not dry out. The start was successful and in the front rows things got going straight away despite difficult conditions. Bart, however, held on to 5^th place for a long time and only had to admit defeat to Popov around halfway through the race. After that he defended the excellent 6^th place until the end. Artem started in 12^th place, but fell back to 17^th place after a contact through no fault of his own. He then worked his way back up to 14^th place. This made him the third best rookie once again. Enea, who had started from far back, immediately made up places, then fell back again, and worked his way up again. He finished just ahead of Artem in 13^th place. Alba was racing for 24^th place when an accident involving three vehicles occurred right in front of her. She managed to avoid the stranded vehicles and continue driving. This meant that she reached the finish line in 21^st place.
After the race, several penalties were handed out. Rehm was moved back for a false start, and Bart moved up to 5^th place as a result. Enea was penalized for pushing a vehicle off the track, and dropped back to 17^th place. This moved Artem up to 13^th place.

Race Three (30 Min + 1 lap)

Sunday, 02/03/25, 14.20, Weather: Rainy, 7°C

When the cars were on the starting grid, it started to rain really heavily. All but one car had previously chosen slick tyres. But even now, no one switched to rain tyres. But at the end of the warm-up lap, some came back to the pit lane to change. Among them were Bart, Artem and Alba. Enea chose to stay out on slick tyres. Bart, Artem and Alba joined the race from the pit lane after the start. The track was quite wet and Bart managed to move to the front within three laps. Artem was already 10^th and Alba was in 21^st place. Enea, who had started on slicks, was in 8th place. An exciting race developed as more drivers went to the pits and switched to rain tyres. Nevertheless, there were several in the top ten who always stayed on slick tyres. Exactly in the middle of the race, the track began to dry out and the drivers on slick tyres had the advantage again. It went several laps, but then Bart had to give up the lead first, and then dropped back to 6^th place. His teammate on slick tyres, Enea, crossed the finish line right behind him, Artem saw the checkered flag in 9^th place. Alba had overtaken several competitors during the race and crossed the finish line in 17^th place. If the rain had lasted just a few minutes longer, who knows what the result could have been!
