Feeder Series weekend review, results and standings: 19–21 June 2026

Thrills, spills and sweltering temperatures greeted junior single-seater drivers at the regional and national levels this weekend in both Europe and North America. Feeder Series reviews all the action.

By Feeder Series

The start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere meant that, unsurprisingly, this weekend’s junior series racing took place against the backdrop of broadly hot, sunny weather. And added to the unrelenting heat came the intense mid-season pressure that begins to intensify as title battles take shape.

In FR Europe, which reached its halfway point this weekend at Monza, Sebastian Wheldon barely kept his points lead despite having one of his weaker weekends. Alp Aksoy in the supporting Italian F4 couldn’t quite do the same as Luka Sammalisto blitzed the competition, while Spanish F4’s battle at a sweltering Aragón bunched up with five drivers within 20 points of the lead. French F4 was the final of the European series on the docket this weekend, making its annual visit to Spa-Francorchamps.

Stateside, FR Americas raced at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, separate from its usual support series F4 US and the Ligier Junior Formula Championship. Brady Golan validated his choice to skip USF Pro 2000’s clashing event at Road America by winning all three races. In the senior of the two USF Pro Championships categories, G3 Argyros was similarly dominant, while there was more parity in USF2000 as a number of drivers stepped up from USF Juniors to get a taste of more powerful machinery.

As part of a change for the remainder of 2026, Indy NXT will be featured in separately published reports, akin to what we do for F1 Academy. This updated coverage plan reflects Feeder Series’ expanded presence in the paddock and the growing interest in the series in 2026. Reports will be published Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

FRegional Europe: Olivieri blazes into contention at sweltering Monza as Wheldon escapes with title lead

Sebastian Wheldon left a chaotic, blistering FR Europe round at Monza with the points lead after misfortune struck his rivals.

The Floridian topped Friday’s free practice before qualifying sixth behind Nakamura-Berta, who secured his fourth pole of the season — matching F1 championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s total during his 2023 championship-winning season.

Salim Hanna’s sweeping pass around Emanuele Olivieri to take second at Turn 1 on the first lap was immediately overshadowed at the same corner by Mattéo Giaccardi, who careened into Rodin’s Alex Ninovic and Reza Seewooruthun – with Maximilian Popov, Francisco Macedo and Yuki Sano also taken out.

At the restart following the safety car, Chi Zhenrui caught Rashid Al Dhaheri, who went wide at Lesmo 1 in a desperate attempt to recover lost positions.

His misfortune only grew as, six laps later, he was spun at the Roggia chicane after cutting across Alexander Abkhazava’s front wing.

As the race settled, Olivieri applied greater pressure onto Nakamura-Berta. The Italian eventually pulled the pin at Turn 1 with five laps left, repeating Hanna’s first-lap move on him.

His lead was short-lived as Nakamura-Berta barged through at Roggia, and from there Olivieri became embroiled in a three-way fight for the final two podium spots.

In the end, Olivieri and Hanna held station in second and third as Nakamura-Berta emerged from the haze to take his second victory of the season.

Race two began with another first-corner collision, with reverse-grid polesitter Andrea Dupé going deep and sending Abkhazava bouncing over his front wing. Miraculously, the pair continued just behind new leaders Popov and Ninovic.

The following lap, however, Ninovic locked up and hit Popov’s rear. The destruction of their race invited Dupé back to the lead ahead of Seewooruthun and Al Dhaheri.

They were among the nine cars sprawled across the start-finish straight fighting over second on lap four, with Hanna and Wheldon assuming the positions behind Dupé.

After a safety car deployment on lap six with Abkhazava beached at Retiffilio, the race restarted on lap eight, and Dupé had just enough time to fall behind Hanna and Wheldon before Alexandre Munoz and Andrija Kostić’s crash at Ascari brought out another safety car.

Al Dhaheri snatched the lead from Wheldon after the next restart as the struggling Hanna faced overtake attempts from Dupé and Sano down the straight. That restart ended with multiple collisions, inducing a further stoppage – the most notable victim being Olivieri, who was running sixth.

With the race finishing behind the safety car, Al Dhaheri claimed his second win of the season ahead of Wheldon and Hanna.

The race results were drastically redrawn late into the night with multiple stewards’ decisions – most dramatically one dropping Wheldon out of the points and costing him the championship lead as Dupé was elevated to his first podium in the series.

Redemption came Sunday morning for Olivieri, who took his first pole, defeating Nakamura-Berta.

“[The] positioning the team gave me and the car was mega,” he told Feeder Series. “We managed to do every lap [as] a clean push [and] in the end we got the overall pole, which I’m very proud of.”

He led away at the start of race three, keeping Nakamura-Berta and fellow rookie Gabriel Gomez behind him through an opening-lap safety car deployment for Kai Daryanani’s stricken Trident at the exit of Roggia.

The top two drivers duelled until Nakamura-Berta touched Olivieri’s rear-left on lap four, sending himself into the gravel and out of the race.

The stewards deemed further investigation was not needed, and two safety car deployments later for incidents for Marcus Sæter and Abkhazava, Olivieri only needed to complete one more lap to secure his first win, becoming the season’s second rookie winner. Fierce and frantic fighting saw Wheldon and Sano take second and third.

“I was quite struggling with the balance at the start of the race,” Olivieri told Feeder Series after his win. “Everything [was] about managing the car, managing the gap behind, because it was really a tough race.”

“Even though I had a bit more grip [and] a bit more pace than the guys behind, a lot of safety cars wasn’t helping the situation, but I was happy how I kept it calm until the chequered flag,” he added.

Olivieri has now usurped Reno Francot for fourth in the standings after the Dutchman had another difficult weekend. Wheldon leads on 122, ahead of Nakamura-Berta on 114 and Al Dhaheri on 106, as R-ace GP head the teams’ standings on 219 – only seven ahead of MP Motorsport on 212.

Italian F4: Sammalisto snatches championship lead as Aksoy falters

Luka Sammalisto once again dominated the field in Italian F4’s third round of 2026 at Monza, adding three wins to his total of seven over the course of the season. He comfortably overtakes rookie Alp Aksoy in the standings, the 15-year-old dropping to third after a retirement in the final race.

In race one, Noah Killion started from pole but could not keep his position for long as Sammalisto lunged to take the lead on the second lap at Roggia. The back-and-forth lasted until lap three, when multiple drivers including George Proudford-Nalder and Lyuboslav Ruykov collided, bringing out the safety car.

After the restart, the US Racing teammates were still fighting for the lead alongside Andy Consani and Oleksandr Savinkov before Alexander Ruta spun and hit the wall in Lesmo 1, bringing out another safety car.

Race direction set up a one-lap shootout, and while Consani was poised to take the lead, he was hit from behind by Killion during the restart, ending his chances at his first podium. Oleksandr Bondarev ended up in the barrier while trying to avoid the incident. The Australian driver was punished with a 25-second time penalty after the race for causing the collision with Consani, dropping him to 25th place. Profiting from the chaos, Kenzo Craigie initially finished third – before the stewards gave him a five-second time penalty for earlier contact with Thomas Bearman.

Sammalisto ultimately won the race, followed by Ary Bansal and Savinkov. Championship leader Aksoy started ninth and had a strong recovery, managing to get a fourth-place finish on the road, but the Turkish driver later received a 10-second time penalty post-race for contact with David Walther, dropping him to 20th place.

Robinson started from pole position for race two. With a superb launch when the lights went out, Killion took the lead and never let it go, claiming his first series win aged 16. The podium was completed by David Cosma Cristofor and Aksoy, who had already lost the championship lead to Sammalisto.

At the start of the race, Consani stalled from fourth, compromising his chances at the good result he needed to qualify for the final race. Five laps later, Pedro Lima went off track and into the barrier before Turn 1, bringing out the safety car.

Meanwhile, Walther was given a drive-through penalty for spinning Prema’s Roman Kamyab out. Having not served his penalty correctly, however, he was later given a six-position grid penalty for his next race.

Race three was also quite eventful. Robinson once again started on pole, followed by teammate Sammalisto. After Turn 1, they swapped places and held them until lap two, when Robinson swooped around the outside of the Finnish driver.

A lap later, chaos unfolded at the back of the field as Roland Kuklane spun into the path of Emily Cotty, whose car was pushed into Rafaela Ferreira’s. The three drivers were forced to retire as the safety car came out.

There was another safety car intervention after Ruykov crashed at Ascari on lap seven. A two-lap shootout remained, and Savinkov was hit by teammate Robinson at Turn 1 and spun, dropping him to the rear of the pack. Florentin Hattemer was one of the drivers who best took advantage of the situation, positioning himself in second place and eventually settling for third on the road behind Sammalisto and Robinson.

The Briton was given a 10-second post-race penalty for the collision with Savinkov, dropping him to 21st. Hattemer and Bansal were also penalised for cutting the chicane on lap seven while battling, elevating Bearman to second and Cosma Cristofor, who had crossed the line sixth, to third.

Sammalisto ended his weekend with another victory in the final race, never really being challenged by Cosma Cristofor behind. The Romanian finished second but received a five-second penalty for track limits, dropping to eighth as Savinkov inherited his position.

Savinkov completed a spectacular recovery from 10th on the grid and 13th after lap one to finish second. Savinkov ran ninth at the mid-race safety car for Kenzo Craigie’s accident at Lesmo 2, gaining three positions on the restart lap and sliding past teammates Arjen Kräling and Killion on the main straight. He gained another spot on the final safety car restart after Bansal ran wide at Turn 1 and dropped to sixth on the road, which became fifth after Cosma Cristofor’s penalty.

Aksoy and Kräling came together on the penultimate lap, which brought out the race-ending safety car. Aksoy was given an eight-place grid penalty for his next race for causing the collision.

Spanish F4: Monteiro swipes championship lead as T-Code wins twice

With two fourth-place finishes and a podium, Noah Monteiro now leads the Spanish F4 standings on 100 points, eight ahead of both Rocco Coronel and Kasper Schormans. Elsewhere, Nacho Tuñón and Andrej Petrović took wins for T-Code, moving the Tecnicar satellite team to second in the teams’ championship.

A rocket start helped race one polesitter Nathan Tye pull a gap over Tuñón in the opening laps. This was interrupted three laps in, however, by the first of three safety car deployments. Beau Lowette couldn’t avoid an incident between Max Radeck and Dean Pedersen at Turn 7, which led him to mount Radeck’s car and spear into the barriers. Pedersen was the only driver to continue.

The safety car pitted at the end of lap five, and Tuñón snatched the lead into the Turn 16 hairpin. Behind, Miki Blascos spun at Turn 15 and got beached in the gravel, bringing out the second safety car.

When racing resumed, Tuñón began pulling away from Tye, who was under attack from his teammate Elliot Kaczynski. The pair ran wheel to wheel through the final corners of lap 10 just as the third safety car was brought out for a stopped Pedersen at Turn 12.

Tuñón fended off Tye in the ensuing one-lap shootout to take his official maiden career victory. Petrović finished third after capitalising on an early battle between Borys Łyżeń and Kaczynski.

Race two lasted seven corners before the safety car was deployed for two separate Turn 1 incidents.

The race resumed on lap three with Tye retaining the lead. Schormans overtook Tuñón for second at Turn 16 on lap four, and the Spanish driver continued to drop over the next few laps as Petrović got through at the same corner on lap seven and Łyżeń dived down the inside of Turn 7 the following lap.

Out front, Schormans’ opportunity to snatch the lead came on lap 12, when he overtook Tye on the pit straight. The pair ran side by side through sector one, almost allowing Petrović a chance to steal the lead. Tye managed to hold off Schormans, however, and took his first main season victory ahead of Schormans and Petrović.

Starting on pole for race three, Petrović immediately went on the defensive against Schormans. This left the Dutch driver vulnerable to Tuñón, who dived down the inside at Turn 16 to take second.

On lap two, Kanthan spun third-placed Schormans at Turn 1, dropping him down the order. Up ahead, Kanthan’s teammate Monteiro was rapidly catching the T-Code pair and made a switchback dive on Tuñón at Turn 16 on lap seven. Tuñón went off track and quickly lost third to Tye down the main straight. The Portuguese driver returned the two positions but soon regained second on lap nine with another dive at the hairpin.

After a short safety car period for a stopped Pedersen at Turn 12, lap 13 saw chaos at the Turn 8–9 chicane when Kanthan ran wide and slid into Coronel’s side, ripping off his own front wing. Things went from bad to worse for the Red Bull junior when he spun at Turn 12, dropping to 30th.

The race ended with a safety car intervention for a stopped Yuzuki Sato at Turn 10, who sustained damage after contact with Ty Fisher four corners prior. Petrović led Monteiro and Tye across the line.

French F4: Ramaekers wins at home while Bouzar extends lead

Guillaume Bouzar extended his lead over the rest of the 30-car French F4 field to 58 points as the season reached its halfway point at a dry Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, where Thibaut Ramaekers delighted with a home victory.

Bouzar took a double pole position in qualifying for the third time in three weekends. The 17-year-old originally qualified 15th for the third race for an alleged track limits violation, but his second-best lap was eventually reinstated, making him the first driver to take the first six pole positions in a row in the series since Ye Yifei in 2016.

But starting from second, home hero Thibaut Ramaekers overtook Bouzar on the opening lap just before the notorious Pouhon double left-hander. The Belgian was then unrivalled while Bouzar had to look at his mirrors to defend from Hugo Herrouin.

The safety car came out after the second lap following an incident involving Sofia Zanfari, her car rolling over in the gravel at La Source.

The battle between Herrouin and Bouzar for second place resumed afterwards, with Bouzar eventually finishing in front of his countryman on the final lap. Ramaekers took the first win for a Belgian driver at Spa-Francorchamps in French F4 since Ulysse de Pauw in 2018. Behind, having qualified fifth, Tom Dussol was pushed wide in the gravel at the start but was able to recover to his original position, pipping Matthéo Dauvergne at the finish line.

Yuval Rosen started the reverse-grid race from pole and cruised to a dominant win with a 7.365-second margin. Bouzar and Ramaekers were charging through the field, but the latter had to pit with a puncture. Bouzar started 10th and ultimately overtook Maverick McKenna for the second step of the podium in the final lap.

There were several incidents in the points-paying positions. At the start, Dussol and Dauvergne were eliminated in a multi-car incident at the first turn, while Jack Iliffe and Oscar Goudchaux collided with five minutes to go, the Frenchman being disqualified after the race for unsportsmanlike driving. Coming from 28th Annabelle Brian took the win in the women’s category by finishing 10th.

On Sunday, Bouzar kept the lead during the opening lap and for the entirety of the race. His rival Ramaekers lost two positions to Kota Tsuchihashi and Herrouin but re-passed both of them at Les Combes. After dipping a wheel in the gravel, Herrouin suffered a puncture, preventing him from scoring any points. A few seconds later, Angelina Proenca’s car rolled over in the gravel and brought the safety car out for almost half of the race.

Behind Bouzar, Tsuchihashi and Ramaekers, the restart was chaotic, with Goudchaux losing three positions after a battle with Dauvergne, going from fourth to seventh, and Lilian Soares going from seventh to fifth after also overtaking Rosen.

Goudchaux brought out a final safety car after going off at the Campus corner with six minutes to go. One lap remained for the restart, and Ramaekers was attacked by Dauvergne and Tsuchihashi, who both cut Les Combes. The Honda protégé finished in front of Ramaekers, but the stewards returned the position to the Belgian. Behind, Billard took the women’s category win by finishing eighth overall.

Thanks to his triple podium, Bouzar extended his lead in the drivers’ standings from 47 to 58 points.

USF Pro 2000: Argyros takes weekend sweep to close in on points leader Jeffers

G3 Argyros was the man of the hour at Road America. The 16-year-old scored his first victory in race one at USF Pro 2000 level on Saturday and capped it off with a second win in race two on Sunday. Thanks to his two wins, Argyros has moved up into second in the championship, 20 points behind Jack Jeffers, who maintained his championship lead.

“We really had all the cards to win this weekend and played them well,” Argyros told Feeder Series after the race. “Rarely in my career have I ever been so calm on a weekend, from first practice to the last lap of the race. My heart rate actually went the wrong way – it started getting lower as the race went on for both races. It’s just a testament to how comfortable I am in the car and how comfortable I am with the team, knowing that we have all the tools to win and then just managing my own race.”

In qualifying, it was Andrés Cárdenas who claimed pole position despite, as he revealed to Feeder Series, experiencing a technical issue that required the electrical system of his car to be changed 10 minutes before the session began. Nevertheless, the Peruvian driver qualified ahead of Jeffers and Argyros, with Thomas Schrage in fourth, Leonardo Escorpioni in fifth and Frankie Mossman in sixth. Costello, who was second in the championship heading into the round, had a difficult session and qualified in 12th.

Cárdenas led the field to green and held the lead. Behind him, Jeffers and Escorpioni made contact exiting Turn 3, creating a chain reaction accident that sent Teddy Musella and Christian Cameron spinning into the grass to cause the first caution of the race. Musella got going again but fell back to 15th, while Cameron was out of the race.

On lap seven, Tyke Durst brought out the second caution when he went off in Turn 1. He continued, but shortly after help from the safety team. Quickly after the restart on lap nine, full-course caution conditions returned after Durst’s teammate Sebastian Manson also went off in Turn 1 while on the outside of a three-wide battle.

At the front, however, the lead swapped three times between Cárdenas and Argyros across the restarts. At the end, Argyros came out on top to win his first ever USF Pro 2000 race ahead of Cárdenas in second and Mossman in third.

“The first couple laps, I just say back and learned where I was stronger and weaker and how to set myself up for the rest of the race,” Argyros told Feeder Series. “On the restart, we got the lead after a couple laps. After we got to the lead, it was very short-held as three corners after I got to the lead a yellow came out. Obviously here at Road America, the straightaway is incredible long, which plays both ways. When you’re in second you hope for the yellows, and when you’re leading you don’t want them to come.”

“I knew that on the restart, it would be difficult to hold the lead as I made my own pass on the restart,” he added. “We played our little cat-and-mouse back and forth. [Cárdenas] got me around the outside of the restart. And then I had the pace to run him down behind him and I passed him back on the next restart. It was really tight with Mossman. I got a bad run on the second restart to fight with him. We were side by side all the way into Turn 1, which was quite sketchy, but a lot of respect to the drivers I shared the podium with – both of them raced quite clean.”

Jeffers fell back to eighth at the end of lap one but recovered to fourth place, while Escorpioni finished race one where he started in fifth. After his early incident, Musella fought his way back to seventh just behind Schrage.

Race two was a more straightforward race for Argyros. The Pabst Racing driver started from pole position after setting the fastest lap in race one, and he led every lap of race two ahead of Jeffers in second place. Cárdenas finished in third place, capping off his best weekend in the series with a double podium.

For Pabst Racing boss Augie Pabst III – the son of late sports car racing legend Augie Pabst Jr, who served on Road America’s board of directors – the results were even more meaningful because of the presence of loved ones who came to support the team based in nearby Oconomowoc.

“We’re just thrilled as a team. You want to do that all the time, but as everybody knows reality is something different,” he said. “When you’re able to put a weekend like this together at your home track – which you’ve just seen now how many friends and family and loved ones we have here cheering us on – at some point you get focused on making them happy as well, and when that happens, it just seems like a dream come true.

“All the guys did an amazing job. G3 with his back-to-back there especially today showed under pressure he was able to perform [and] bring us home a win.”

Eddie Beswick, Anthony Martella and Brad Majman took a race win apiece in USF2000’s fourth round of 2026 at Road America.

Majman was the fastest driver in both qualifying sessions, narrowly beating Evan Cooley and Beswick for pole position or race one and outpacing João Vergara and Martella in the second session.

Race one was a Pabst Racing 1-2 as Beswick won from third on the grid. The 21-year-old Australian took the lead following a restart on lap three by going around the outside of Majman into Turn 1. Despite some close racing, Beswick maintained the lead until the end.

“I knew the car had really good pace,” Beswick told Feeder Series afterwards. “We had a good strategy there going from the start that got me straight to second. To be honest, without the full-course yellow, it probably would’ve stayed that way, just on the restart I was able to get Brad and punch out some consistent lap times.”

“The mutual respect is there,” Beswick added about the battle between him and Majman. “We’re good buddies. We’re both from the same country, so it adds to that. It was funny on the way down – when Brad had his look at me into Turn 5, Hunter [McElrea] was on the radio telling us to keep it clean but we’re allowed to race. So that was pretty funny, the timing there, but me and Brad race pretty good, and we know not to crash into each other.”

Anthony Martella finished third on track but received a five-second time penalty for blocking, dropping him to ninth. This promoted Oliver Wheldon to the podium, Evan Cooley to fourth and championship leader Sebastián Garzón to fifth. The Colombian had fallen back to 17th on lap one but fought his way back up the order to sixth place – fifth following Martella’s penalty – in what he described as one of his finest drives of the season.

Martella took his second win of the season in race two from third on the grid. Majman started from pole position but quickly saw Martella in his mirrors, the Canadian having jumped ahead of Vergara on the race start. A lap later, the race was neutralised for an incident involving Leonardo Serravalle, Cal Peter and Liam Loiacono.

On lap six, shortly after the restart, Martella took the lead into Turn 1 around the outside of Majman. The Canadian never gave up the lead despite heavy pressure from Majman and Cooley, who had risen from fifth to third.

Behind them, Wheldon put in one of the recovery drives of the season. Having started in 24th after causing a red flag when he stopped with a mechanical problem in qualifying, the VRD Racing driver was up to 13th by lap two, eighth by lap five and sixth by lap 10, where he finished the race.

“Heading into the race I was super confident with my speed and everything, so I really just wanted to maximise and gain as many positions as I could. I focused on my start, gaining 12 positions in two laps,” Wheldon told Feeder Series.

“I could see the leaders going into the restart, so I tried to keep that momentum going, hopefully to the end, and was able to get up to P6, which is good. Then I kind of plateaued there a little bit. My tyres fell off a decent amount, but still a really good result.”

Championship leader Garzón was on pole for race three after setting the fastest lap in race two. A horror accident for Cooley on the opening lap, however, captured most of the eyeballs rather than any opening-lap battling. The Exclusive Autosport driver made contact with Ryan Giannetta just before the kink at Turn 4 and was sent barrel rolling and flying, striking and bending the upper part of the catchfence on the inside of the track as he tumbled through the air.

While his car was destroyed, Cooley was in good spirits after walking away from the accident with only a minor injury to his hand. He said he expects to return for Mid-Ohio next weekend.

This incident began a truly stop-start affair. The 12-lap race only had four laps run fully under green-flag conditions, at the end of which Majman – who took the lead on the opening lap – came across the line for his second victory of the season.

“I managed to control the race quite well, went from third to first at the start, which was really good. From there, [I was] just controlling the safety car restarts,” Majman said. “I had a really good car all weekend and it was really good to capitalise on it.”

Teammate Beswick finished in second and Garzón finished in third, remaining the only USF2000 driver to have finished every race in the top five this season. He still leads the championship with 234 points, but Majman has closed up significantly to sit only 30 points behind.

“We’ve still got to do what we’ve got to do, regardless of where he finishes,” Majman said about Garzón. “It’s a big help, but we’re only halfway through it. Still a long way to go.”

Beswick in third and Cooley in fourth sit 63 and 78 points respectively behind Garzón.

FRegional Americas: Golan sweeps IMS weekend, closes in on championship lead

From the beginning, it was clear that Brady Golan and championship leader Evagoras Papasavvas would vie for the top spot throughout FR Americas’ Indianapolis weekend. In the practice session, the two were separated by just 0.020 seconds and were over 0.350s ahead of the third-quickest driver.

Golan took pole position in qualifying, while Papasavvas originally qualified third but had all of his laps deleted after his car returned to the paddock before the session ended without approval. That meant he would have to start race one from the back of the grid.

Championship contender Kekai Hauanio spun on the formation lap for race one and had to start from pit lane. This, along with a mechanical issue preventing Aidan Schuh from starting, meant Papasavvas moved up to 13th on the grid. By the end of lap one, he had completed seven overtakes to move up into sixth position.

As Golan and Shipman pulled away at the front, Papasavvas made his way into third place nine minutes into the race. With less than five minutes remaining in the race, Papasavvas finally caught and overtook Shipman to gain his 13th and final position of the race. The battle for second helped Golan cruise to his third victory of the season.

Papasavvas, because of his fastest lap in race one, earned pole for race two, and he maintained the lead in the opening laps. An early safety car was deployed for Whitney Strickland, who crashed in Turn 1 following contact with his teammate, Eric Wiśniewski.

On the second lap after the ensuing restart, Hauanio slowed exiting Turn 2. This caused Kiwi Motorsport teammates Shipman and Harbir Dass, who had been following right behind Hauanio, to make light nose-to-rear contact, though both continued on. Hauanio fell several laps down, ultimately finishing in 10th.

Schuh and James Lawley were the next to find trouble, coming together near the race’s midpoint and causing another safety car deployment. The next and final restart of the race took place with seven minutes remaining. Golan dove down the inside of Papasavvas into Turn 1, taking the lead and driving to victory. Shipman and Papasavvas, meanwhile, engaged in another close-quarters battle, with Shipman emerging ahead in the final corners to take second.

Though Golan earned pole for race three, Papasavvas took the top spot by the time they arrived at the first corner. A pair of early safety cars for several small incidents led to a 10-minute shootout in which Golan took the lead around the outside on the restart.

Although Papasavvas closely tailed Golan until the end, a yellow flag for Schuh on the last lap prevented the championship leader from attempting a pass, securing the weekend sweep for Golan. Hauanio took the final spot on the podium.

With the low number of laps run under green-flag conditions, half points were awarded for race three. Exiting the weekend, Papasavvas now leads the championship by 17.5 points over Golan. Shipman sits third, 31.5 points away.
