The third meeting of the 2025 FRECA (Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine) season was held this weekend at the demanding Zandvoort circuit in the Netherlands. R-ace GP once again shone with its excellent qualifying performances, a third-place finish in Race 1 and a top-10 finish for its three drivers in Race 2. 

In collective practice 1, Jin Nakamura (#11) set a good pace with the 4th fastest time, while Enzo Deligny (#23) set the 8th fastest time. Akshay Bohra (#31) finished P22. In the second session, Enzo Deligny went up a gear with a 2nd place. Jin Nakamura confirmed his consistency (P4), and Akshay Bohra made clear progress with 12th place.

Qualifying and Race 1: Bohra strikes hard

On Saturday, Akshay Bohra and Enzo Deligny put in an excellent performance in Group A’s qualifying. Bohra took pole position with a time of 1:37.391, ahead of his team-mate Deligny, who was also in fine form. In Group B, Jin Nakamura finished 5th.

In the race, Akshay Bohra kept up the pace and took a fine 3rd place at the finish. This podium is a first for him in FRECA, but also in any competition in Formula Regional. Enzo Deligny finished a solid 5th, while Jin Nakamura finished in P13.

Qualifying and race 2: another demonstration by the trio

Another strong performance in qualifying 2, on Sunday. Deligny and Bohra finished P2 and P3 respectively in their group, while Nakamura was P3 in his. This put the three young guns at the front of the field for Sunday’s race.

At the end of a heated race, the three drivers managed to finish in the top 6. Enzo Deligny took 4th place, followed by Jin Nakamura in 5th and Akshay Bohra in 6th. However, Akshay Bohra was penalised for a jump start and dropped back to 9th in the final rankings.

With qualifying increasingly under control and a consistency showing in the race, R-ace GP leaves Zandvoort with new points in its pocket and encouraging momentum. The championship will resume on July 5 in Budapest.

19 May 2025 – R-ace GP came out on top at the second round of FRECA, held this weekend at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. After very good results in collective practice and qualifying, the team took its first two podiums of the season with Enzo Deligny. The Franco-Chinese driver finished third in race 1 and took a superb victory in race 2.

The race weekend got underway with some promising performances in collective test. In the morning, Enzo Deligny (#23) finished second, closely followed by Jin Nakamura (#11) in third. Akshay Bohra (#31) was seventh. Positions were a little more scattered during the afternoon’s session: Enzo Deligny was P4, Jin Nakamura P11 and Akshay Bohra P13.

Qualifying and Race 1

On Saturday, the two qualifying sessions* for Race 1 were cancelled due to extensive damage following an accident. The starting grid was determined on the results of collective test 1, which put Enzo Deligny and Jin Nakamura in good positions on the grid.

Enzo Deligny took the lead from the start of the race and dominated the first half. Despite a strong defence, he finished 3rd and scored his first podium of the season. Akshay Bohra finished P7 and Jin Nakamura P16.

Qualifying and Race 2

On Sunday, all three drivers put in solid performances in qualifying 2: Enzo Deligny and Akshay Bohra were second and third respectively in their group. Like his team-mates, Jin Nakamura also set the third fastest time in his group.

The start of the second race was chaotic, but Enzo Deligny kept his cool and took the lead. The Franco-Chinese driver put up a fierce fight to hold on to first place, overtaking several times. His determination paid off, as he crossed the finishing line victorious and handed his team its first win of the season. Jin Nakamura crossed the line in fourth place, but received a penalty which dropped him back to 7th place. Akshay Bohra finished 15th. 

R-ace GP will return to competition on 7 and 8 June for the third round of the championship at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

* Drivers are divided into two groups: Group A and Group B.

FRECA: encouraging performances at Misano

R-ace GP FRECA Enzo Deligny

4 May 2025 – FRECA got underway this weekend at Misano, where the first round of the season took place. The performances of the drivers reached a crescendo throughout the weekend and, although there was a slight taste of unfinished business, the potential displayed is encouraging for the rest of the season.

The drivers were split into two distinct groups for qualifying. The fastest of the two starts at the front, while the results of the second group are adjusted for the grid position.

Qualifying and Race 1

On Saturday 3rd May, Jin Nakamura (#11) set a solid P3 in his session. Results were mixed for fellow drivers Akshay Bohra (#31), P9, and Enzo Deligny (#23), P10.

Later in the race, a collision on track between Jin Nakamura and another competitor prevented the Japanese driver from capitalising on his promising morning performance. His race ended prematurely. Enzo Deligny and Akshay Bohra managed to pull out all the stops and made a fine comeback. Deligny finished P6 and Bohra P7. 

Qualifying and Race 2

The positive momentum continued on Sunday 4 May. During the qualifying session of race 2, Enzo Deligny was incisive and took a very good 2nd place, closely followed by Jin Nakamura who set the 4th best time. Akshay Bohra, for his part, put in a solid performance to take 5th place in his session.

In the race, Enzo Deligny finished just outside the top 3. Jin Nakamura, who was penalised on the grid following the incident in Race 1, finished 10th, while Akshay Bohra was 16th. 

Despite a slight taste of unfinished business given the potential shown, the team leaves Misano with the confidence that it is moving in the right direction and the desire to confirm its progress in the next races.

The next round will take place in a fortnight’ time, on 17 and 18 May, at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
