=== Race Report ===
MattIsOff started the race in 19th after failing to qualify during the qualifying window with the 20th grid slot also left open due to the Monster Racing team unable to provide a second driver. Vellange disconnected on the start straight immediately before the race start Both Bubuxcx and Fabixcx suffered on the race start, dropping from p4 and p8 to p15 and p17 respectively, with the top 3 maintaining position. Faxeo was able to improve position on track up to p4 within the opening corners, passing two-time world champion Sab2003. F1rret passed other two-time world champion, GabeTM for p2 in the final corner entering the second lap. Vellange reconnecting caused a hazard on track whilst his game failed to load for him with multiple drivers having to take evasive action. Semicolon_ decided to take an early pit stop, pitting at the end of the first lap from 12th position.
FatihAr suffered a great lag spike and fell from 8th to 18th ahead of only Vellange. Unable to improve position, Bubuxcx would pit at the end of lap 2 with an attempt to undercut. Jeelow continued to improve his lead, developing it to 3.506 seconds by the end of lap 4. Gabe pitted from 3rd to attempt to undercut the leaders who were in clean air, exiting the pit into the fight for 10th.
After suffering behind his teammate who was a lap down, Jeelow's gap in the lead dropped to 1 second with F1rret making a surprise overtake down the inside of turn 1 for the lead entering lap 6 with Faxeo also passing Jeelow around turn 2. The British driver then further improved his position to the lead of the race after passing F1rret in the final sector and putting him in the lead for the first time of his career. The chaos of the lap prompted Jeelow to pit from 3rd behind Faxeo's teammate, lapped driver Sepl3333 with the Colombian driver exiting the pit into traffic behind rookie AkselV. Jeelow's stop also put rookie driver pwnings briefly into the podium positions on debut before she was passed by Warsaw Pegasus' KrisusQ.
Vellange returning to the track caused another hazard on track with Faxeo having to take evasive action and allowing F1rret down his inside to retake the lead entering lap 8. In response, Faxeo pitted at the end of the lap, around half a second after Murweh's AkselV and exited the pit marginally behind both Gabe and Jeelow into p7, the latter of whom set another fastest lap. Fatih retired on lap 10, 3 laps dowwn due to repeated lag issues. Jeelow experienced a lag spike on lap 12, falling behind both Faxeo and Fabi who was a pit down. Sab went for his second and final mandatory pit stop, re-entering the track in p14 behind Bubu with teammate Fauxbethvv on the same early double pit stop. They were followed by Jeelow who left the pit into moderate traffic as well as second BMW driver HockeyMan_31 who was previously running in p7 on debut.
F1rret pitted at the end of lap 12 and returned to the circuit in p2 with a 5 second lead over Gabe in third and placing Krisus in the lead of the grand prix. The BMW# driver's lead was restored when Krisus came into the pit on lap 13, leaving the pit just 3 seconds behind GabeTM with the British Renault driver closing the gap ahead to 3 seconds. Faxeo passed Fabi to return to contention, placing him in p4 and 3 seconds back from Gabe. Vellange also returned to the race, 13 laps down for the Uzbekistan Freddo Formula One team.
Gabe went for his final pit stop entering lap 15, colliding with pole sitter Jeelow on exit who was forced onto the inside of the turn one corner and dropping him into traffic whilst the Renault driver remained unscathed. Both Fabi and pwnings pitted on lap 17 with pwnings marginally behind Fabi but with an extra pit stop made. Thee Boss was last to make his first stop, running in p3 in clean air on lap 18. F1rret led the grand prix by 12 seconds to Faxeo with Gabe a further 3 seconds behind. Within 2 laps, this lead was halved to under 6 seconds by the end of lap 20. Despite this, Gabe's gap increased to 22 seconds from the lead but with an extra pit stop made to the drivers ahead.
F1rret made his final pit stop entering lap 21 after losing 7 seconds to Faxeo behind due to backmarkers. He exited the pit into clean air, maintaining a 7 second lead to Gabe behind. Kriusus and Jeelow collided with Jeelow losing out again, exiting the contact behind the Polish driver. In response to F1rret's pit, Faxeo also came in to the pitlane, leaving in p3 behind Gabe and 9 seconds from F1rret in the lead, amounting to a 5 second loss over lap 21. Only Thee Boss had not completed both pit stops after HockeyMan pitted on the same lap.
Jeelow continued to fall behind after Sab passed him for p5 on track despite the Colombian holding the fastest lap on track from his early lead. The two entered a three-way fight for 4th against Krisus who was 16 seconds back from the lead. A storming Sab2003 passed the Pole, moving up a position and foilowee by Jeelow who took revenge for the contact in earlier laps. F1rret's clean air came to a close after reaching the lapped drivers Fabi and Vellange whilst Gabe and Faxeo fought over second, Faxeo provisionally losing out on lap 25. The pass was then made in turn 2 of lap 29 with Faxxeo just 4 and a half seconds behind F1rret in the lead who was stuck in lapped traffic. By the end of the lap, this gap was reduced to a second.
A lag spike on the penultimate lap caused F1rret to collide with backmarker MattIfOff who was 3 laps down at the entry to the track's second sector. Faxeo retook the lead for the third time in the race, followed by Gabe who made the pass after F1rret conceded position in the third sector. Faxeo won the race and took the fastest lap with a 1.5 second gap to GabeTM and 2.5 to F1rret taking a first win for the British driver who debuted in 2023. He passed MattIsOff at the line.
Sab2003 finished the race in fourth after holding off 32Jeelow who took the pole position point, ahead of KrisusQ who finished his standard of a sixth finishing position. Pwnings and Aksel finished 7th and 8th respectively giving Murweh their second ever double points finish and first since the 2024 season. Bubuxcx recovered to 9th to give Renault an extra 2 points with his partner, Fabixcx, taking the final point of the weekend.
