Armand Hamilton to victory in the rain

For Kasper Schormans (JJ Racing), the start to the Mariembourg weekend could not have gone better: Starting from pole position, the Dutchman immediately won all three heats and was therefore rightly regarded as the favorite for the qualifying rounds. Mateja Radenkovic (Bouvin Power) added two wins to his tally and then took over the chase at the start.

Schormans promptly took advantage of his good starting position in the pre-final. The up-and-coming driver dictated the pace at the start, but found himself in the sights of Alberto Fracassi (Strawberry Racing) early on. The Italian replaced the front runners and took the lead in the race. The duel for second place was quite turbulent thereafter. Schormans dropped back for the time being following a scuffle. Meanwhile, Beau Lowette (Daems Racing Team) sped up and secured the chasing spot. At the finish, Kenzo Craigie (Argenti Motorsport) took third place ahead of Schormans, who fought his way up to fourth. Luka Scelles finished fifth behind him.

With a catapult start, Schormans took the lead of the final and underlined his ambitions. The driver from the ranks of JJ Racing completed his laps without making any mistakes and was undeterred by the pressure from his pursuers. Armand Hamilton (Strawberry Racing), with the best race time on his account, kept up with the leader until the chequered flag – but was unable to find a way past him on the track. However, a time penalty made Hamilton the winner. Schormans slipped back to second place ahead of Timo Jungling (Dan Holland Racing). Archie Clark (KR Sport) finished the race in fourth place ahead of Lowette, who also had to relinquish third due to a penalty and was fifth in the standings.
