RODRIGUES SETS THE PACE OF QUALIFYING
Rodrigues set the benchmark early, taking pole position with a 1:38.468 lap in the #30 Rodrigues Racing SR3.
JR Gan put the #17 MRD SR1 next to him on the front row, followed by Jaime Almario and Vedant Agrawal.

Rodrigues won after 12 laps while Gan held off Almario to claim his third SR1 win of the season.
GAN AND ALMARIO HANDEL BLOOTS IN RACE 2
Race 2 produced another close SR1 battle.
Gan initially took the class lead before Almario moved ahead, but Gan retook the position with an inside move on lap four.
Rodrigues, starting from fourth, slowly closed in on the fighting pair before passing both to take his fifth consecutive overall victory.
Gan again topped the SR1 class, followed by Almario and Agrawal.
ALMARIO BREAKS IN STEAM CONDITIONS
Race 3 started in wet conditions, with Rodrigues rejoining the field.
Behind him, Gan defended against Almario until the #25 AVI Racing driver found a way past on lap six. Gan regained the position three laps later, but a technical problem slowed his car.
Almario capitalized to take the SR1 class win ahead of Agrawal and Gan, while Rodrigues completed another clean finish to maintain his perfect season.

Gan remains at the top of the SR1 ranking 125 pointsHolding a 23-point advantage over Almario 102. Agrawal is third 51 points.
