Diego de la Torre has conquered a much-awaited and well-deserved maiden win in the Euroformula Open in today’s Race 2 at the Hungaroring. The young Mexican driver of Motopark did so in a typical “Hungaroring race”, taking the lead at the start and holding the first position throughout the 17 laps, making no mistakes and keeping up to the pressure coming from behind.
“This time was the good time”, said Diego after the finish. “This is a track where it’s easy to make a mistake, but this time I could put a faultless performance, resisting to the pressure of those behind.”
De la Torre, sitting next to Carrasquedo in first row in the reversed grid, was quick to take the lead at turn one and keep it in turn 2, despite the attack of Yeh, who had a very good kick-off from P5. Carrasquedo was third in the initial laps, followed by stack, Herrera, Famularo, Nandan and Dobrzanski.
Early in the race, Stack managed to steal third from Carrasquedo and from there the top three positions remain unchanged, despite the trio being covered by only two seconds. Herrera eventually took fourth ahead of Carrasquedo, Famularo, Dobrzanski and Keller, who made the most overtakes from last position on the grid.
On a overcast day, a few rain drops fell throughout the race, without affecting track action whatsoever.
