The young drivers in the Academy Trophy engaged in a tough fight in their first qualifying heat A against B. Starting on pole, Lucas Légeret was caught up by a tight group which Illya Zamula got away from into the lead. Ross Martin was then attacked by Murilo Della Coletta, and their duel lasted until the chequered flag. After a good return from 10th place, Berkay Besler finally finished 4th ahead of Rinus Van Kalmthout and Légeret. 8th place for Marta Garcia Lopez ahead of Alexandre Vromant and Xavier Lloveras Brunet.
It was difficult to assess the impact of new bumper mountings. We saw drivers pit to reattach, losing a lot of time waiting for their mechanic. But other bumpers may have been out of their mountings without being able to see clearly. We’ll have to wait for the decisions of the sporting commission to see more clearly.
