Everett Stack took his second win of the season at the Circuit Paul Ricard in another warm afternoon in Southern France. The American driver of Motopark showed great assertiveness throughout the race. “It was very warm”, he commented, “and I knew I had to take care of the car, the tyres an my own energy. I chose the right moment to attack and from then on, I tried to master the events”.  Stack strengthens his second position in the standings, 60 points ahead of Rui-heng Yeh, who today could not finish better than tenth.

Drivex’s Gino Trappa finished second, after passing Jan Koller (Motopark) in the final laps. The young Czech brought home his maiden EFO podium finish, after leading the race in the first five laps, making a perfect use of the pole on the inverted grid. Alessandro Famularo, who was sitting next to him, got tangled with Wiktor Dobrzanski and Filippo Fioravanti, with the first two retiring, while Alceu Feldmann got a 5-second penalty for jump start and Aaron Ferrazzano had to retire with a broken gearbox.

All this prompted the safety car out for three laps, and two laps after the restart, Stack passed Koller. Trappa, who was sixth in lap one, put an effective charge, overtaking Carrasquedo, Yeh, Feldmann and Koller in succession to finish second. De la Torre, Herrera and Feldmann completed the top six.
