Ramdan topped the combined practice times with a 1:50.543s in Practice 2, then qualified second with a 1:50.761s lap. Vietnam’s Luca Agostinelli also remained near the front throughout the weekend, setting a 1:50.814s in Practice 2 before qualifying P4 on a personal best of 1:50.979s.
India’s Chiranth Vishwanath improved steadily across the sessions, moving from eighth and tenth in Practice 1 and 2 to P5 on the grid with a 1:51.040s lap. Sarthak Chavan had opened the weekend with P2 in Practice 1 on a 1:51.583s lap, but a crash on his opening qualifying lap limited his track time.
In Race 1, Agostinelli remained in contention for the lead throughout and finished P2, just 0.063s behind the winner. Ramdan spent most of the race in the P3 fight before dropping to P5 on Lap 6, while Chavan held P7 from Lap 3 onwards. Thailand’s Vorapong Malahuan maintained P9 throughout, with Vishwanath finishing P10 after climbing through the field from P13.
Cristian Borrelli took overall victory for both races, while Pedro Rodrigues Moreira joined both podiums in P3. Luis Miguel Rodriguez Lopez took P2 in Race 2.
In Race 2, Agostinelli made an early move for the lead on Lap 2 and remained involved in a four-way fight for the position by Lap 4. Vishwanath stayed with the leading group throughout, while Ramdan held the holeshot and remained in contention across the race.
Ramdan ultimately finished fourth, crossing the line 0.822 seconds from the podium after Portugal’s Pedrinho Matos made a late charge to take third. Agostinelli and Vishwanath also remained in the top 10, giving the Asian contingent a strong presence at the front of the European round.
