Reno Francot rounded off the opening Red Bull Ring round of the FIA Formula Regional European Championship by taking victory in a dramatic Race 3, which saw the safety car deployed four times. The Dutch driver for CL Motorsport, who had already secured a podium in Saturday’s second race, also moved to the top of the Drivers’ standings, capitalising on the retirement of the polesitter and Race 1 winner Kean Nakamura-Berta (Prema Racing). Gabriel Gomez finished seventh for Rodin Motorsport, securing victory in the Rookie class.

Kean Nakamura-Berta claimed victory in the opening race of the FIA Formula Regional European Championship season at the Red Bull Ring. The Prema Racing driver converted Friday’s pole position into a commanding win. Finishing second was Rashid Al Dhaheri (R-ace GP), while MP Motorsport’s Sebastian Wheldon took third place. Marcus Saeter (G4 Racing) topped the Rookie class.

The second and final day of testing held at the Red Bull Ring on Easter Sunday brought to a close the three pre-season tests of the FIA Formula Regional European Championship, which had kicked off at the end of March at Germany's Hockenheim circuit before moving on to Paul Ricard and, finally, Austria.
