Victor Martins took his second pole position of the season in qualifying, with Leonardo Fornaroli on reverse-grid sprint pole. [1] Fornaroli was overtaken at the start by Kush Maini, but reclaimed the position into Copse. He steadily pulled a gap to Maini, and on lap 15 Sebastián Montoya passed him for second place. On the penultimate lap, Roman Staněk passed Maini off-track for third, a move which was permitted as Staněk was forced off the track. The race was Fornaroli's first single-seater victory since 2021. [2]

The feature race took place in wet conditions. Martins had a poor start, with Jak Crawford going from third to first on the opening lap, ahead of Alex Dunne. Luke Browning, who started twelfth, made his way through the field and passed Martins for third on lap 18. Gabriele Minì pitted for slick tyres on lap 21, but collided with Oliver Goethe after leaving the pits and stopped on track. Crawford entered the pits seconds before the virtual safety car was announced, preventing the other frontrunners from following him. He retook the lead of the race when the full safety car was brought out, allowing to rest of the field to change tyres. The race ended under safety car as Joshua Dürksen spun on the restart, with Crawford winning ahead of Dunne and Browning. [3] Richard Verschoor retained the championship lead, with Crawford six points behind. [4]
