This past weekend, at the Circuit de Catalunya, has held the second meeting of the GP3 Series, with WINS by Mitch Evans and Tamas Pal Kiss, while Nigel Melker is still leading the Championship. However, the Championship was tight, with many drivers separated by a few points.
In the first race, Mitch Evans was lucky to keep the lead after a not especially good output, and from then on, the race did not have color. Evans held the lead until the chequered flag. James draught and Aaro Vainio completed the podium in a particularly empty race action on the track.
The second race saw also the victory of the pilot coming out from the pole. Kiss did not gave any option to rivals, leading throughout the race. Nigel Melker was placed in second position after the start, ahead of Dean Smith, who came from the front row next to Tamas Pal Kiss. However, the race did not nor too much action.
Far more chaotic test he lived at the start of the second race, with more than a single-seater permeating the engine, bypassing the output, or even both. But if in a Championship, these moments are which should bring the excitement, that means that there is something that does not work properly.
After Toyota, the GP3 took a break until the European Grand Prix, which will also be on Spanish soil. Therefore, the next meeting of the Championship will be that of the Valencia Street Circuit, where hope that racing will give us a little more than emotion. To the GP3 not him would go bad.
