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.

Kean Nakamura-Berta has become the first-ever pole-sitter in the history of the FIA Formula Regional European Championship.

Kean Nakamura-Berta delivered a perfect weekend in the final round of the E4 Championship. Already leading the standings ahead of the round, the Japanese-Slovakian Prema Racing driver left no room for rivals, claiming three wins out of three races over the weekend. The E4 Championship title was only decided at the final checkered flag, thanks to main rival Gabriel Gomez (US Racing), who fought hard to keep the contest alive until the very end. Nakamura-Berta finished the season with 181 points, including four wins, three second places, one third, and one fourth. Celebrating with him were the Vicenza-based team, who had already secured the team title after Race 2, and teammate Oleksandr Bondarev, who also won the Rookie class after Race 2. In Race 3, the women’s title was also decided, with Emily Cotty (R-ace GP) overtaking Ginevra Panzeri (AKM Motorsport) at the very end to claim the championship by a single point in a closely contested battle.

Kean Nakamura-Berta (Prema Racing) claimed victory, extending his championship lead at the end of a fiercely fought race that remained undecided until the very last meters.

The second round of the E4 Championship at Mugello Circuit ended with one final twist. After Kean Nakamura-Berta’s success in Race 1 and Alex Powell’s victory in Race 2 (following the 5-second penalty handed to Nakamura-Berta, first under the checkered flag), the last race of the weekend went to Sebastian Wheldon.

Drama and excitement marked Race 2 of the E4 Championship at Mugello. Kean Nakamura-Berta with Prema Racing, already victorious in Race 1 this morning, crossed the line first again. However, the Japanese-Slovak driver lost the win due to a five-second penalty imposed by the Stewards, following his defense at the start against Alex Powell with R-ace GP. To hold position, Nakamura-Berta ran beyond track limits, resulting in the infringement. Given the gap to the rest of the field, the penalty relegated him to P2, though he still takes the championship lead with 94 points.

Mugello - Qualifying for the second round of the E4 Championship at Mugello Circuit delivered both spectacle and confirmation. On one of the most technical and selective tracks of the season, Kean Nakamura-Berta with Prema Racing was the absolute star, taking two pole positions.
