Freddie Slater delivered a commanding performance in the opening race of the weekend at Zandvoort, securing his second victory of the season in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. The Prema Racing driver executed a textbook start, overtaking pole-sitter Pedro Clerot (Van Amersfoort Racing) with a decisive move and controlling the race from start to finish. His strong pace and confidence with the car confirmed his excellent form as he crossed the line first on the Dutch circuit.

The second Pre-Event Collective Test at Zandvoort saw changing weather conditions shape the course of the session, with drivers clocking their fastest laps in the opening minutes before heavy rain swept over the Dutch circuit. The 90-minute session was marked by three red flags and offered limited opportunities for improvements once the track became fully wet.

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine officially kicked off its third race weekend of the 2025 season at Circuit Zandvoort, with the first Pre-Event Collective Test taking place this morning under dry conditions. Despite the looming clouds and a steady breeze sweeping across the North Sea dunes, the track remained dry throughout the 90-minute session, allowing all 26 drivers to gather valuable data on one of the calendar’s most challenging venues.
