There were a few drops of rain threatening to fall as Reno Franco from grid 2 leads Kinaka Murabeta away on the formation lap. He’s been a a revelation.

Emily Kotti had a great drive yesterday. This is Andrea Costich in car 4. Yes, the last time that the French Grand Prix was raced here. Max took the victory 3 years ago in 2022 as Kavier Anurag makes his way down the Mistral Straight. I’ll get that right. If you did catch our coverage yesterday, I have to put my hand up. It’s not just drivers who make errors. The Molsan Straight incorrectly referred to. That’s about 700 km to the north. Of course, at the famous Lemon Circuit, it is the Mistral Straight, which is 1.8 and 8 km long. The main stay of this world famous circuit. That is the top of the Mistral straight, not the Mulsan. Have I apologized enough for that fauxar yesterday? The Mulan is at the mods. This is Paul Ricard. This is a senior’s corner at the end of a mistra 1.8 km long using the chicane again this weekend. Let’s hope in future we can go straight through and go more than one mile straight up to the senior’s curve as it was originally intended. The track almost abandoned in the late 1990s before Mr. Eckleston himself rocked up and put a bucketload of French frunks as it was into this circuit. The HTT the high techch test track. It is world class featuring a world-class FIA cart racing circuit as well lake where you’re often able to you are often able to see jet skis on the lake. A magnificent party from GT Sport on the rooftop terrace on the top of the Paul Ricard pit lane last evening and the nearby aer drrome capable of landing 737 jets here.

The second of three races here this weekend. Kin Nakamura checks the left side mirror. Third in last year’s series starts pole position. Gabriel Gomez starts P3 again. He jumped both Keen and Sebastian off the start yesterday. Keen will be trying to ensure that does not happen, but now has to worry about the Dutchman. Reno Frankot in 69 for the PHM racing team. 29 cars on the grid on a sultry summer’s morning here in the magnificent French Riviera approximately halfway between Marles and Nice. In motor racing geographical terms, it’s about 2 hours from the most famous Grand Prix circuit in the world, the streets of Monte Carlo, where the Monaco Grand Prix has been raced since over a century ago. The second of three races here this weekend. The visor still open on Kin Nakamura’s bell helmet. Now it goes down. We wait for the green flag at the back of the grid for the second of three races here this weekend. the E4 championship at Paul Ricard on the French Riviera Keen to the right of your screen. Reno to the left. The five red lights here on Sunday morning in the south of France. We race once again. A great getaway from Arnold in the middle of the circuit. Gomez down the inside. Gomez from P3 goes through to P2. King Nakamura. No problem for the Japanese star. He leads as the field race down into the first few corners the bottom of the circuit for the first time here this morning. Sabov makes his way around. He’s already got by the Indian Arianel. There’s Sebastian. A well done on the outside of Alexander Bondrev. Lock up just ahead. Reno Frank got back to third gets a wide line on the back of Gomez who’s already through into position two. We’re watching for Alex Powell and Andy Frey, the Swiss and Jamaican drivers who came to grief in the early stages of race one yesterday. And they’re going straight through shortcutting the circuit any of Frey, which is not permitted. Has to go around the bolard, which he did not do. We’ll keep an eye on that from race control as Gomez just shadows the back of Gin Nakamura as the chicane right in the middle of the mistrol back straight for the first time. Costic and again Frey is off the road. He’s had a messy start. This time he does do the right thing. Gets back on track and a Frey still inside the top 10. There’s Alex Pal just ahead and another superstar from Kabir Anodak who’s through to position seven but Alsati goes up the inside the Qatari 2023 Qatar Cup racing national champion first year in European competition for the Jensa motorsport team representing the Qatar motorsports federation car 26 is ahead of Cotti Albag the RA duo Bolo Mikolini Baransal who’s fallen back to 23rd Ace Salim Hunter trying to make his way through the Colombian in car 88. But out front it is his Premer Racing teammate Kim Nakamura leads the way. Luca Visoriano having a look in the background trying to go by the Englishman Bart Harrison. But at the end of lap one it is K&B who takes the lead. Nakamura in 51 leads across the line for the first time. the gap 1 second back to the South American and Reno Frankot with Sebastian behind in fourth place pop off Anora G Pow and Annie a Frey in P10 [Music] a clean start for the second race of the weekend look at the lead already from Kakamura Anodak Newmani Alex Pal and a back to any afraid there’s costage suffing off and Salim Hana who shortcuts the chicade again. Won’t be the first time we’ve seen that this weekend. And well, you really cannot blame the drivers when there is more runoff than you’ll find at a Tesco car park here at the magnificent HDT and little consequence if we’re honest often for going straight ahead. One of the Viola Formula Racing drivers in trouble. You saw it looked to be Ludvik Pulso minus most of the front wing. The Sicilian currently in 19th place. Arnold with Newmani. He does to the right thing. Locks up, goes deep, turns in, takes the corner, and he’s now vulnerable to Alex Pal. DNFed yesterday. And now the Jamaican on the outside of the driver who won a monster in the Italian series. Pal around the outside for the RSGP team trying to get the 41 car to turn in Newman just ahead. Pal with the wide line on the rubber line on the second lap here this morning. A clean start. King Nakamura one second dead. There’s Weldon on the back of the Dutchman. Reno Franot off the podium at the moment is the Andretti Jr. a good start to the series yesterday for the American. the top North American. Of course, the winner was the South American Gabrielle Gomez, P3 in the first of nine races. As you look at Alex Pal, the Mercedes AMG Junior, who lines up Newmani, he’ll be vulnerable. Coming onto the straight out of the final corner, tries to keep the car straight. Slight over steer from virtually all of these cars. Trying to get the front end to turn, balancing the rear end. And Reno Front cut gets the slipstream from Gomez. Pal this time looks at the back of Newman. She can’t do it. Down into turn one. This is race two of three here this weekend. Pal going on through a fabulous weekend last weekend in Tuskanyany in Italy, the Italian championship where he took two victories. The other going to Kim Nakamberto who is leading the most competitive junior car racing series in the world, the 12th edition of the Italian F4 Championship. If you’re just joining us, this is not that. This is the three round challenge series. It is the E4 championship. He’s coming to Arnold. The Asian driver goes through the Albian F1 Academy Junior P7 in 19. The three round challenge series for the F4 cars. Effectively the de facto European series here this morning at Paul Ricard in the south of France. Mello in midepptember and at the home of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Cathedral of Speed on the last weekend of October. That’s Monza for the third edition of the Euro Series, the E4 Championship, which has twice been won by drivers from New York in the United States of America. There’s Bombadev right on the back. He’s Max Popoff, top armor racing team driver looking good here. here this morning. Gets the car to turn in early. Rides the ripple strip. Goes in deep though. Bond just ahead. The Williams F1 Academy Jr. There’s the Mercedes F1 Academy Jr. Alex Pal on the back of Newman Chi. Both drivers who have won outright in the Italian series as has Kin Nakamura who was third in the E4 Championship in 2024. Well done bond pop off anorag and it’s cheese. This is pal in 41. Gomez with a 208179 goes fastest. The gap just over 1 second though. Newmani eclipse that though an 07.9 but still the top rookie. Newman the second of the new new drivers in the series. Drivers with less than three rounds experience in F4 or car racing for that matter. Bondv first rookie, second is Chi and third Salimhana. Anodak second year for the Asian driver just missed the podium yesterday. He sits in behind. Pop off head off Anoraga and Chi onto the mistrol back straight on this lap three. A clean start here for the second of three races here this morning. The gap just over 1 second. Kinakam Muraba who had to follow home the South American Gabrielle Gomez took victory yesterday. Runs P2 Francot Weldon Andre Papa and this is Kabir Anorag. the top end of the mistrol straight into the senior’s curve. The circuit with so much history built the same year that man landed on the moon 1969 by the French industrialist Mu Paulad and thus the name [Music] and as we mentioned just a few moments ago bought by Bernie in the late 1990s where the track was almost abandoned. It is a world-class facility as you look at Annie Frey from Switzerland. Car 20 in P10 head of cottage Hunter and his gentle motorsport teammate Bart Harrison just coming down the hill in the background. The Englishman who did have a podium at Monza P3 in the Italian series ahead of Visoriano and Dante Vinci in P15. [Music] One/10enth of a second. Gabriel Gomez takes out of Nakamura that time. Still Newmani fastest on the circuit. Newman drones in on the back of Kabira Anorak. The two Asian drivers eighth and seventh respectively, Newman in 28, Kabir in 19. [Music] Down the bottom of the hill, this 5.8 kilome circuit as we approach 1/3 race distance turns in aggressively. Does Alexander Bond have a little bit of rear end slide important to get the car to turn in and also manage the eight tires from the outset of qualifying and the three 30-minute races. 90 minutes of racing yesterday. 16 laps, 93 kilometers completed. If we stay green and it’s looking good so far for both races 2 and three, we will get to within three laps of a full Formula 1 Grand Prix distance here this weekend. 93 km race yesterday. We are on track for that again here this morning. If we repeat that this evening, we’ll get close to 300 km around about 280 relapse off the distance that Max raced when he took victory. The final time that the French Formula 1 Grand Prix was held here at the circuit from Gomez. This is Reno Frankot. Sebastian Welen just shadowing the Dutchman trying to keep the cars as straight as possible. Get the front to turn in as you see Pop Off run off the road. Max Pop Off losing valuable ground and momentum. He’s dropped off the back of Bonderev now comes under attack from Cababier Anorag does nicely to hold on to it. It was a costly error though. Slight error as Sebastian launches down the inside. Reno Frankot slams the door closed on the Andretti Jr. who took four victories last year on the road to Ingi Nola Motorsports Park, New Orleans in Mississippi, Virginia International Raceway and of course at Road Atlanta and a victory in the Formula 4 European United Arab Emirates series I should say. As we seen, Alex Pal has now finally got through on Newman Chi up into position eight. Chi tries to fight back. They’re side by side as they go down into the field corner. L VM, the hotel corner, and then climb from the bottom of the circuit up the 1.8 kilometer Mistral Straight, the main stay, the backbone of this 5.8 km circuit. There’s Wen tries to fire it up again and take P3 away from the Dutchman. Reno Frankot Arnold meanwhile on the back of Max Popoff Pal has already broken clear just slightly of Newmani and any of Frey after a tough start. Well, the Swiss driver is still there in car 20 in P10. Gomez has brought the gap down though to 7/10 of a second. visibly it is closer as they go up into the senior’s curve. There’s Frankot Weldon Bond the top rookie pop offag now on the inside of Newmani. They go wheelto-heel at over 200 km an hour the Chinese and Swiss drivers. Newman Chi on the outside dives down the inside. Frey nicely done. Andy Frey goes on through and takes Newmani the Chinese driver. The second rookie is now 10th outright. Frey up to P9. Nicely done. The Swiss driver for the Swiss team in the south of France and your praying car 20 now through to nine. This is Anorag on the back of Max Popoff who still holds P6 for Vanamas Sport Racing. Gomez the fastest lap last time round in 07.5. He goes faster again. You can look and see how close the gap is officially 4 of a second as Newmani we’re being told by race control has pulled down into pit lane. Newmani has pulled into the pits. Gomez the gap was 1.2 seconds. It is barely three car lengths as they go down through the hotel corner. A slight bump as the front right comes off the ground. The cars straight as possible through the lefthander onto the mist straight. Gomez close enough to get the slipstream. Keaka had to follow the South American home yesterday. He’s defending for his life as they go up into the chicane. Watch Gomez fire it down the inside. Reno Frankot in the background hoping, praying they both come together or at least cost each other time. Nakamura Berta holds off yesterday’s race when it goes in deep though. Goes in deep does very well to hold on to a bit. He’ll be vulnerable. Watch him go to his right to your left as they go up into the senior’s curve.

Getting slightly darker on a humid sultry morning here on the French Riviera. Nakamura glances at the left side mirror. Watch Gomez at the last possible moment. Nakamura Berta is awake to it and Francoart will get a fabulous run as they go up to the highest part of the circuit. He’ll get the slipstream from both the Brazilian and Japanese drivers.

[Music] sideways slightly from Kinakam. Those are four mentioned suggested tire pressures that might have added half a PSI or so. That’s slight slight the very slightest of slides there. He went sideways. Let’s just say that. Kinakamura and in real terms he’s lost a tenth of a second on the race leader Reno Frankot almost into the 06s now the gap officially 1.430 430 seconds. Anodak pop off have fought all race. The top of the mistral straight into the senior’s curve past the former base of the former Toyota Formula 1 team now forming at the Winfield Racing circuit.

Reno Franite just over a minute plus one lap to race again. Nakamura locks up again. He still manages incredibly to hold on to second place. But the question is for how long as he tries to white line it. Gomez is there. Gomez is up the inside. The Italian series leader. He was second yesterday. He’s second at the moment. Here comes Omido to Brazil. The boy from Brazil finally drives on through to position two. Nakamura tries to fight back. Sebastian in the background. Weldon catching both of them again. Nakamura sliding as they come down the hill. Gomez into position two. Franot has disappeared out of sight. Well, not literally because there is the Dutchman. He is well over 2 seconds clear. He will likely cross the line just before 30 minutes ticks over, meaning another two laps and more time for Welen to attack. Into the point corner, Welen in the background on the back of his Premma Racing teammate crosses the line. Daz Reno Frankot with 3 seconds remaining. Two laps remaining here. The fight for the podium. the second third steps at the moment. Weldon is not standing on it, but he’s got a good chance down through turn three. This is where Nakamura has struggled in the previous laps and Sebastian knows it. A little bit of breathing space now for Gabriel Gomez for us racing. Victory yesterday in race one. Looking at P2 here this morning again. Nakamoto is sideways. Watch Sebastian. He sends it down the inside. Locks up the front right. does extremely well not to run into the back of his Premier Racing teammate. That’s intelligent from Welen. Even if it did potentially cost him a podium, he’s still in P4.

One entry, one car here this weekend for the PHM racing team driven by the Dutchman who gave up a professional footballing career as we mentioned could have been lining up for PSV in the years ahead. Indeed, he might be lining up on the grid in the FIA Formula 1 world championship in the years to come at nearby Monaco. He’s in P1 on his way to victory down the Mistrol Straight through the chicane for the final time. Gomez, Nakamura, well done. Kabir, Arnold, what a drive into P5.
