Taito Kato delivered one of the standout performances of the weekend. After qualifying fourth overall from second in Group A, Kato converted his front-row start into victory in the Sprint Race.
He followed that with another strong drive in the Feature Race, finishing third to complete a double podium and a major points haul at Imola.
Kanato Le set the pace in Group A qualifying, posting the fastest time in his group to qualify second overall. His Sprint Race was curtailed by a difficult result, finishing 24th, but he responded strongly in the Feature Race.
Starting from the front half of the grid, Le recovered to fifth and closed the weekend with a top five finish.
Hiyu Yamakoshi qualified sixth overall after placing third in Group A and carried that pace into the Sprint Race with a third-place finish. He remained inside the top six in the Feature Race, finishing sixth to secure another consistent points-scoring result.
Yevan David made one of the strongest race-day recoveries of the weekend. After qualifying 19th overall, he climbed to fourth in both the Sprint and Feature Races.
The back-to-back top four finishes marked a significant turnaround from his starting position and added a strong points haul to his Imola weekend.
French-Chinese driver Enzo Deligny also recovered from a difficult qualifying session, starting 21st overall after placing 11th in Group B. He moved forward in both races, finishing eighth in the Sprint before improving to ninth in the Feature Race to complete a pair of points-scoring results.
Together, the performances from Kato, Le, Yamakoshi, David and Deligny highlighted the strength and depth of the Asian contingent at Imola, with several drivers combining race wins, podiums and impressive recoveries to make a significant impact across the weekend.
