Qualifying Results:
Following a successful qualifying session earlier in the day, a couple of hours later the team got on track for the first race of the weekend.
Starting off, after a phenomenal session, Kasper started on pole, with Rocco and Borys on row 2 in P3 and P4 behind him. Continuing, Jensen started P7, Max P20 and Felipe P20.
The race had an odd start, with the first two laps being taken under the safety car due to an issue with the starting lights. The race had a rolling start where Kasper initially dropped to P2; however, he automatically fought back against Kaczynski and reclaimed the lead swiftly. Meanwhile, Felipe overtook Max and snatched up P20.
Tragically, Borys, in an attempt to chase down his teammate, ran off track and received a puncture, after which he was forced to pit and came out in P36.
On lap 4, both Felipe and Max were promoted to P19 and P20 as a result of Borys’ misfortune. Meanwhile, Jensen was overtaken by Tye and dropped to P7. Later, he fell further to P8 after being overtaken by Monteiro. Before the end of the lap, Felipe had made up a further position to P18.
The following lap Max fell down the order to P23 while Felipe furthered his incline up the leaderboard to climb to P16. As a result, Borys pitted again on this lap to retire from the race.
Following, on lap 7, Felipe continued his upward campaign to take P15 from Blascos. Afterwards, on the following lap, Max dropped behind Alibhai to P23 and was overtaken by Tuñón and dropped further to P25.
On lap 9, Rocco was catching up to Kaczynski; however, he had a small lockup which undid his progress, although he maintained his track position.
As the race continued, Kasper's dominance was becoming more evident as he had cleared Kaczynski by two seconds. He did this while maintaining the fastest lap of 1:46.918, which he set seven laps prior. Meanwhile, Jensen overtook Kanthan and took P7.
In great progression from his first race, Max moved up to P23 ahead of Bulbarella and Alibhai on lap 13. Unfortunately, on the following lap Felipe lost P15 to Blascos.
On lap 15, Kanthan and Fisher touched, and Kanthan fell down the grid order; as a result, Felipe became a beneficiary and moved back up to P15. All the while, Max overtook Sato and climbed to P22; tragically, this was momentary as he dropped all the way back to P25 before the end of the lap.
The chaos of contact ensued on track when the following lap saw Blascos and multiple others drop down the order, and Blascos’ incident brought out yellow flags. As a result, Felipe moved up to P13 while Max moved to P24.
However, after crossing the finish line, Felipe received a penalty for track limits, in which he dropped back to finish P17, while Max, post-flags, was promoted to P19. Then, after the race, Felipe received a ten-second penalty, and he was demoted to P32; meanwhile, as multiple drivers were penalised post-race, Max ended up finishing in P17.
Jensen finished in the points in P7, while Kasper won the race, and after Kaczynski received a penalty, Rocco moved up the podium from P3 to P2.

Like Race 1, the second race started under a safety car with a rolling start controlled by Kasper on lap 2. At the start, Radeck overtook Max, which pushed him back to P21. Meanwhile, Borys shot ahead of Fisher to P7. However, the lap ended with a safety car after an incident involving Fisher and Tye, in which Fisher's car was beached in the gravel. As a result, Borys was promoted to P6, Jensen to P11, Felipe to P13, and Max to P21.
The race continued under the safety car for two laps before it was race-flagged on lap 6, with 12 minutes and 20 seconds to go, to remove Fisher's car from the track.
When the race was restarted, the time was cut to a little over ten minutes, which was cut down further by the race starting under the safety car. During this, Jensen was up to P10, Felipe to P12 and Max to P20.
On lap 8, the race was green-flagged at the end of the lap with Kasper controlling the restart. From the launch, Kasper shot ahead of the pack but not without Rocco on his tail close by.
Continuing, the following lap saw Borys overtake Kaczynski for P5 while Jensen lost a position to Arnaudo and dropped to P11. Lap 10 saw Blascos drop down the grid, in which Jensen was promoted back to P10, and Felipe to P11, where both drivers finished.
Meanwhile, Max had dropped to P22 and engaged in a battle with Pedani back and forth for P21, in which he lost the position.
In the closing laps, Borys began closing in on Kelleher, putting the Campos Racing driver under pressure.
On the final lap, Max fell to P23; however, he recovered two places and moved to P21, where he finished.

On the launch, Kasper maintained his lead while Borys shot ahead of Jensen to snatch up P4.

As a result, Jensen moved up to P3, Felipe dropped to P15, and Borys fell to P16 after the incident, while Max rose two positions to P22. However, Rocco overtook the newcomer for P22 before the end of the opening lap.
After the chaos of the first lap, Piñera overtook Borys, who dropped back to P16. Meanwhile, Rocco cleared positions and rose to P20 and then up to P19 after overtaking Sato. All the while, Max dropped back further to P30 before he came into the pits to retire.
Continuing, on lap 3, Borys was called into the pits as a result of his earlier incident with Rocco and came out of the pits at the back of the grid in P33 with a lot of places to make up. As a result Felipe moved up to P14 and Rocco to P16. However, Rocco then cleared Blascos and moved up to P15.

During the midfield, Rocco snatched up P13 and moved ahead of Fluxá, and continued pushing ahead on the next lap. Rocco attempted an overtake on Piñera and Mulder around the outside, where he braked early. He did not succeed the first time and attempted again, went three-wide, and bumped wheel-to-wheel with Fluxa while persisting with the fight for positions.
