It was a race full of twists and action in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, which this afternoon concluded the Paul Ricard round under the rain. Alessandro Giusti (ART Grand Prix) was a prophet in his own land, starting from the fifth position on the grid and, with an excellent race pace, secured an important victory.

The official session at Paul Ricard for the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine was anything but straightforward, taking place first in the wet and then in the dry. Leading the pack once again was championship leader Rafael Camara (Prema Racing), who clocked the fastest time in Group A with a 1:59.245. This marks the Brazilian’s eighth pole position in the series since last year, cementing the Ferrari Driver Academy driver as one of the fastest in qualifying.

Tuukka Taponen had a perfect start to the weekend, claiming his third consecutive victory in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine during the first race at Mugello. This record, previously held only by the 2021 champion Gregoire Saucy, has now been matched by the Finnish driver, who also achieved his third consecutive pole position on the Tuscan hills.
 

It was a perfect day for Brando Badoer as he claimed the top spot in the time sheets of both Collective Tests at Mugello, the venue for the fifth of the ten double-header rounds of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine.

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine returned to action this morning on the Mugello circuit, where the championship organized by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing reached the halfway point of the season. The rolling hills of Mugello provide the perfect backdrop for what is proving to be an excellent season, evidenced by the high level of competitive balance both on and off the track among the participants.
