Guzman first past the finish line after a great comeback

A dry track for Race 3 of the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth. After an interruption due to a crash a few seconds after the start – without any drivers getting hurt – there was a restart and everything went ahead as normal.

Group A against Group C were on the track for Race 3 of the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth. After a crash involving several drivers at the start, and the subsequent red flag, the go-ahead was given for a restart. Because of the damage caused by the crash, the following did not restart: Diego Bertonelli (RB Racing), Ye Yifei (Kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport), Leonard Hogenboom (Cram Motorsport) and Aaron di Comberti (Bhaitech).

When the red lights were switched off, Marcos Siebert (Jenzer Motorsport) sprang into action and immediately gained quite a competitive lead over his rivals: 3 seconds in three rounds over his teammate Van Uitert.

From the seventh starting position, a very determined Raul Guzman (DR Formula) gained ground and was able to move into third place already by lap three. A good tussle involved Valentin Hasse Clot (Kiteviola Motorsport) who defended his sixth place, although in the end he finished 18th. Shlom (4th), Vips (5th) and Baiz (6th) were among those who overtook him.

However, the battle heated up for the top positions: Guzman overtook Van Uitert (struggling with a car oversteer) on the eighth lap and started to catch up with Siebert in first place. On the tenth lap the two attacked and a real battle started. At the end of the twelfth round, Guzman took the lead and stayed there until the end.

Juri Vips (Prema Power Team), in fifth place overall, was first in the Rookie Trophy, followed by Giacomo Altoè (Bhaitech), in seventh place overall, and Ian Rodriguez (DRZ Benelli), who finished eighth. Fabienne Wohlwende (Aragon Racing) won the Woman Trophy.

Today’s programme has the Final Race (which will see the participation of the best 36 drivers) at 5.20 pm.
