Season report

First half

14 cars entered the opening round of the 2026 season, held at the Red Bull Ring, and Jo Zeller Racing's Sandro Zeller led Puresport's Andrea Benalli in qualifying to take pole position. ^[7] Benalli got the better start to the sprint race and passed the Swiss. The pair traded positions until Zeller solidified his lead, after which he built a gap and controlled the rest of the race. Benalli took second, with Franz Wöss Racing's Stig Larsen completing the podium. ^[8] The feature race brought no challenges to Zeller's lead, with Benalli this time slotting in to second place right away, where he remained until the race ended. Third went to Nannini Racing's Marco Falci, who recovered after a gearbox issue during race one. ^[9]

Standings

Scoring system

Drivers score points in the overall standings, as well as in separate standings per class. Five points are awarded to each driver attending an event. Claiming the fastest lap per race per class awards a point if at least three cars took part in that class.

The shorter first race of each weekend, designated as the Sprint Race, sees finishing drivers score the following points:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
Points	20	16	13	11	9	7	5	3	2	1

The second race of each weekend, called the Feature Race, awards more points:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
Points	30	23	18	14	11	9	7	5	3	1

The final score will be formed by counting each drivers' five best sprint race scores, six best feature race scores as well as the attendance points and fastest lap points for all race weekends. ^[10]
