They are “only” free practices, but the two leaders of the general standings of the Formula Regional European Championship certified by FIA are already in the middle of the battle. Frederic Vesti is the fastest at the end of the day for just one thousand of a second on team-mate Enzo Fittipaldi. Good performance by Marcos Siebert (US Racing), third. Olli Caldwell (Prema Powerteam) is fourth, while Igor Fraga is fifth, after a problem in FP1, with only 3 laps ran.

The reduced lap time differences compared to Paul Ricard indicate a constant adaptation of all drivers to the new single seater, giving more uniformity to general performances and a high potential of a great show.

Tomorrow at 9.40 the two qualifying sessions will start and at 16.05 race 1. On Sunday race 2 will start at 8.30 and race 3 at 16.15.

All 3 races will be shown live on Motorsport.tv (in English and Italian), AutomotoTV (Italian) and streaming on acisport.it website and the championship Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FormulaRegionalEU/).
