22 September 2025 – It was off to Barcelona for the eighth round of the FRECA calendar. R-ace GP and its drivers had to cope with sometimes unpredictable weather conditions over the weekend, which ended with a victory and a double podium finish. These solid results, achieved by Enzo Deligny and Akshay Bohra, allow the team to keep hold of the championship lead.
Free practice
In the first session, Enzo Deligny (#23) finished 8th, Akshay Bohra (#31) 13th and Jin Nakamura (#11) 26th. In the afternoon, Enzo Deligny climbed to 2nd, while Jin Nakamura finished 9th. Akshay Bohra remained consistent and finished 13th again.
Qualifying and Race 1: Nakamura just off the podium, Deligny forced to retire
The three drivers confirmed their pace on Saturday morning during qualifying. Enzo Deligny set the second fastest lap in Group A ahead of Jin Nakamura in third. Akshay Bohra finished sixth.
The first race looked promising. Unfortunately, while Enzo Deligny was battling for the lead, a collision caused him to lose his front wing. The driver had to retire from the race. Jin Nakamura, who got off to an excellent start, was in third place. But he ended up crossing the finish line in fourth, while Akshay Bohra finished 12th.
Qualifying and Race 2: Pole position and victory for Enzo Deligny, Akshay Bohra on the podium
On Sunday morning, the second qualifying session took place in tricky conditions on a wet track. However, this did not prevent Enzo Deligny from taking pole position with a lap time of 1:53.250. Akshay Bohra took second place, while Jin Nakamura qualified fifth.
The race started in the late afternoon, behind the safety car due to the wet conditions. As soon as the safety car left, Enzo Deligny managed the pressure from his pursuers perfectly. He controlled the race from start to finish and took his third victory of the season. Akshay Bohra finished a solid third. Jin Nakamura, who crossed the finish line in 10th place, benefited from a post-race penalty imposed on a rival and gained a position to finish ninth.
With this victory and a double podium finish, R-ace GP leaves Barcelona with a very positive result. The team stays the lead in the FRECA championship and is looking forward with confidence to the penultimate round of the season, scheduled for the first weekend of October in Germany at the Hockenheim circuit.
