Ean Eyckmans sets the benchmark in Collective Test 2 at the Hungaroring

The second Collective Test of the weekend saw Ean Eyckmans (RPM) deliver an outstanding performance to top the timesheets as the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine continued its preparation at the Hungaroring. On a warm afternoon with stable track conditions, the Belgian rookie, who is competing in his first season in single-seater racing, stopped the clocks at 1:39.107, further underlining his rapid adaptation to the category.
 

Michael Belov (CL Motorsport) followed closely in second place, just 0.155 seconds adrift, while Enzo Deligny (R-ace GP) maintained his positive momentum by recording the third-fastest time, only 0.169 seconds behind the leader. Akshay Bohra, also representing R-ace GP, continued his run of competitiveness to secure fourth place.
 

Evan Giltaire (ART Grand Prix) completed the session in fifth, narrowly ahead of Nikita Bedrin (Saintéloc Racing), who confirmed the excellent pace shown since yesterday. Rashid Al Dhaheri (Prema Racing) was seventh, edging R-ace GP’s Jin Nakamura by a slim margin.
 

Matteo De Palo (Trident), posted the ninth-fastest lap, while Rui-Heng Yeh (RPM) closed out the top ten, less than six-tenths of a second from Eyckmans. The group remained tightly bunched, with all the top twelve drivers within seven-tenths.
 

Completing the first sixteen positions were Jack Beeton (Prema Racing), Taito Kato (ART Grand Prix), Zachary David (CL Motorsport), Kanato Le (ART Grand Prix), and Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi (Trident) and current championship leader Freddie Slater (Prema Racing). 
 

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine will be back on track tomorrow when qualifying kicks off at 9:00 AM local time. The session will be streamed live on the Championship’s official YouTube channel and broadcast by all TV partners covering the series, including ACI Sport TV.
