Overview
- At the Red Bull Ring, CL Motorsport’s Reno Francot won Race 3, capping an opening weekend that produced three different winners.
- Kean Nakamura-Berta secured both pole positions and converted the first into victory for Prema Racing in the series’ debut event.
- R-ace GP’s Rashid Al-Dhaheri was declared the reversed-grid Race 2 winner after a five-second penalty for Dion Gowda’s false start changed the order, with results noted as provisional.
- Stewarding calls materially shifted outcomes, including a 10-second penalty that dropped Rodin’s Alex Ninovic from third on the road to 12th in Race 1.
- The second-generation Tatuus T-326 and a 100-second push-to-pass Race Mode created more passing chances, setting the tone for an eight-weekend, 20-race season.
