Right behind him, with a gap of 0.382s, was Nikita Bedrin (Saintéloc Racing). A positive start to the weekend for R-Ace GP was further confirmed by the third and fifth positions of Akshay Bohra and Jin Nakamura, with Rashid Al Dhaheri (Prema Racing) slotting into fourth place between them.
The fastest among the rookies was Ean Eyckmans (RPM), who secured sixth place, finishing ahead of an experienced driver like Michael Belov (CL Motorsport).
