7 July 2025 – The FRECA grid met at the Hungaroring this weekend for the fourth round of the championship. It was a positive round on the whole for the R-ace GP team, which added a pole position and a new podium to its tally, and maintained its third place in the overall championship standings.

The momentum for the French team began to build in Friday’s collective testing session. Jin Nakamura (#11) shone in the first session, setting the fastest time of 1:39.242. His team-mates Enzo Deligny (#23) and Akshay Bohra (#31) were not far behind, in 4th and 6th positions. In collective testing 2, Enzo Deligny was 3rd, followed by Akshay Bohra 4th. Jin Nakamura finished 8th.

Qualifying and Race 1: Deligny gives R-ace GP a fourth podium finish

On Saturday morning, the three drivers took part in Group A* qualifying. Enzo Deligny set the second fastest time in the group, while Akshay Bohra and Jin Nakamura finished 4th and 8th respectively.

The race started later in the afternoon. Enzo Deligny got off to a good start, fought his way to the front and finished on the third step of the podium, the fourth for R-ace GP since the start of the season. Akshay Bohra finished in the top 10 in 8th place, while Jin Nakamura crossed the line in 14th.

Qualifying and race 2: frustrating results for the team

Enzo Deligny hit the ground running in qualifying for race 2 on Sunday morning. The Franco-Chinese took pole position for the race, setting the fastest lap of both groups and of the weekend in 1:37.296. Akshay Bohra finished 3rd and Jin Nakamura 7th. 

At the start of the second and final race of the weekend, Enzo Deligny remained in the lead. Akshay Bohra, 5th on the grid, retained his position, while Jin Nakamura dropped back slightly. An initial incident brought out the yellow flag.

After an uneventful restart, contact between Jin, then 13th, and a rival relegated the Japanese driver to the back of the race. Hit by mechanical problems, Enzo Deligny lost two places in the closing stages of the race and crossed the finish line in 3rd place. Akshay Bohra was 5th and Jin Nakamura 25th.

Enzo Deligny was disqualified for ignoring safe driving instructions. Akshay Bohra finished just off the podium in 4th place.

R-ace GP keep its 3rd place in the overall team rankings. The team will be back on track in less than two weeks at Le Castellet for the fifth round of FRECA.

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.

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.
