Under clear skies in Valencia, the second round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series got underway with a full programme of Qualifying Practice and the opening Qualifying Heats. With the pace set in the morning and the first points on the board in the afternoon, drivers began shaping their weekends—but with only part of the heats completed, the fight is far from decided.

The Senior category saw Davide Bottaro take top honours in Qualifying Practice, edging out Niklas Schaufler and William Calleja in a closely contested session.

Through the opening Qualifying Heats, Bottaro and Calleja now share the lead of the intermediate classification, both delivering consistent performances across their races. Schaufler remains within striking distance, with Benjamin Manach and Aaron Garcia Lopez rounding out the top five in a tightly packed field.

In OK Junior, Priam Bruno laid down the benchmark in Qualifying Practice, leading Niccolò Perico as the margins immediately proved tight.

As the Qualifying Heats got underway, Alessandro Truchot moved into the lead of the intermediate classification thanks to a strong and consistent opening run. Bruno and Martin Luis Bertolaccini remain right in the fight, closely matched at the front, while Oskari Walle and Marat Zvarich complete a competitive top five after the first phase.

With a full day of Qualifying Heats still to come, Friday will play a crucial role in defining the Superheat grids. Consistency will remain key as drivers aim to position themselves for the decisive stages of the weekend.
