past and finally took another podium finish with a great P 2.
Mathieu Jaminet also drove a strong race with some hard wheel to
wheel racing action and finally finished on P 5.

Frijns again had a great start and took over the lead in the first
corner. From that point on Frijns was controlling the race. He drove
a very clean race without any mistakes and finally took his maiden

the engine at the start and dropped back to the very last position.
Finally he was able to finish the race on P 10.

race was red flagged, due to undrivable conditions. After a 10
minutes breake the race was resumed again behind the Safety Car.
