There were two changes to the grid ahead of the round: James Hedley returned having recovered from an injury, and Nicola Lacorte served a race ban for obtaining more than 12 penalty points, with GB3 and Indy NXT driver Nikita Johnson competing in his place. [1]
Nikola Tsolov took his second pole position of the year in qualifiying, with James Wharton taking pole for the reverse-grid sprint race. [2] Wharton maintained his position throughout the race to take his maiden win in the category, followed by Alessandro Giusti. Charlie Wurz was running in third until lap 13, when he was hit by Brando Badoer, allowing Ugo Ugochukwu through to the final podium position. [3] However, he was penalised post-race for going off-track while defending from Tsolov, who had charged through the field from twelfth, promoting Tsolov to third place. [4]
Tsolov lead the feature race from the start, while second-place qualifier Brad Benavides dropped through the field once DRS was activated, allowing Tsolov to build a gap from Noah Strømsted, Rafael Câmara and Ugochukwu behind. The three tossled for the podium positions throughout the race, before Martinius Stenshorne, Tim Tramnitz and Mari Boya joined the fray from further down the field. Stenshorne moved into the podium positions on lap 14, and passed Câmara for second on lap 18, with Tramnitz and Boya following him a few laps later. [5] After the race, Tsolov was disqualified for excessive plank wear, and Stenshorne inherited the victory. [6]
