Qualified second, Ugo Ugochukwu made an impressive start and instantly took the lead of the race. But motorsport can be pitiless: while leading the race, the American saw his tyres deteriorate badly and was overtaken on the final lap. He eventually finished second. After a penalty imposed on a competitor, Jin Nakamura (#2) took third place on the podium, followed by Enzo Deligny (#1) in fourth. Akshay Bohra (#3) finished 13th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
