Race One (30 Min + 1 lap)

Saturday, 08/03/25, 14.05, Weather: Overcast, 15°C

The first race of the weekend started under dark clouds. However, only a few drops fell and the track was dry on the racing line. Bart got off to a very good start, he kept 3rd place and was very fast. He had just driven the fastest lap of the race when his car suddenly lost water. Bart had no choice but to abandon the race in the pit lane, which was very disappointing for him. Artem was also doing very well and was only beaten by Anurag. Artem drove a very strong race and finished in an excellent 4^th place. This meant he was second best rookie. Enea started from 12^th place. He managed to work his way up lap by lap. He first moved up to 11^th, then to 8^th and finally finished in a very good 7^th place. Javier Herrera, our Mexican rookie, contested his first race weekend in this category here. He had qualified in a super 9^th place. After the start he suffered a contact. After that he dropped back a bit. With two laps to go, he drove into the pit lane, where he unfortunately had to abandon the race. It turned out that he had damaged a suspension during the contact. He was listed in 25^th place in the results list.

Race Two (30 Min + 1 lap)

Sunday, 09/03/25, 09.15, Weather: Wet, 13°C

On Sunday morning the track was wet. With three of our drivers in the top 6 on the grid everyone was very hopeful. Artem missed the start a little and dropped to 5^th. Bart got off to a good start and moved up to 4^th. Javier managed to hold on to 6^th. One car soon ended up in the gravel trap and the Safety Car had to be deployed. Enea had dropped to 27^th. Conditions were quite difficult, the track was very slippery. Soon the rain started to fall heavier. Then Anurag rolled out to the side of the track and the Safety Car stayed out until that car was also cleared away. At the restart our drivers held their positions. Bart was now 3^rd, Artem 4^th and Javier an excellent 5^th. Bart now put pressure on McLaughlin for 2^nd but he didn't want to risk too much. He brought home a beautiful 3^rd place on the podium in the end. Artem was close behind him in 4^th place, which meant 2^nd place in the rookie ranking. Unfortunately, Javier, in his second race in this category, braked too late and went into the gravel. He got back on track without help and finished an otherwise excellent race in 19^th place. Enea reached the finish in 25^th place. The team was very pleased with the good overall performance of our drivers.

Race Three (30 Min + 1 lap)

Sunday, 09/03/25, 15.50, Weather: Sunny, 16°C

At the end of the weekend, the sun came out and the track was dry for the third and very last race of the 2025 FWS Winter Series. The start was on time and the large field set off again. All drivers gave their best once again. Bart held 4^th place after the start, Artem was surprised by Anurag and was now 6^th, Enea followed in 8^th place. Javier was 17^th after the first lap. Then Robinson had a collision with Rehm and the two fell back. This put Bart in 2^nd place behind Bearman. Enea was now in 6^th place and Artem was right behind him in 7^th position. During the very exciting race, in which everyone wanted to bring home a good result, there were several penalties at the end. Bearman received a 5 second time penalty for a false start. Unfortunately, Bart was also penalized 5 seconds for track limits. Javier also received a time penalty for track limits. In the end, Bart finished in an excellent 3^rd place. Enea was 5^th and Artem 6^th, which meant 2^nd place in the rookie ranking for him. This meant that three of our drivers had reached the top 6 in the overall result, which meant a very good team result at the end. Our rookie Javier was listed in 21^st place on the results list. It was a very eventful first race weekend in this category for him!
