Report

Qualifying

Rafael Câmara took pole position for Trident, ahead of the Campos Racing of Mari Boya and the ART Grand Prix of Tuukka Taponen. [1]

Sprint race

Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak started on reverse grid pole after qualifying twelfth for the feature race, with James Hedley and James Wharton behind. The top three maintained position off the start, but Alessandro Giusti fell from fourth to sixth, before making contact with Ugo Ugochukwu at turn 13, putting the MP Motorsport car out of the race with suspension damage and bringing out a safety car. [2] The race resumed on lap 4. Ugochukwu passed Wharton for third on lap 7 and Hedley for second on lap 11, but his charge was halted by a late safety car due to a collision between Noel León and Théophile Naël. [2] Inthraphuvasak held on to take his second F3 win, followed by Ugochukwu and Charlie Wurz. [3]

Feature race

The race was held in wet conditions. [4] Câmara led the field away for a rolling start, but Tim Tramnitz suffered a spin at turn 7. A safety car was called out on lap 4 for a collision between Brad Benavides and Roman Bilinski. Racing resumed on lap 7, only for another safety car period to be declared after Gerrard Xie and Ugochukwu came together at turn five. [5] Martinius Stenshorne and Bruno del Pino gambled on dry tires, but this proved unsuccessful. Câmara held on to take victory from Boya and Taponen. [6] The victory, his fourth of the season, was enough to seal the title with a round to spare, as rival Nikola Tsolov could only recover to sixth after starting 21st. [7]
