This is the second round of the season, after the series going to Donington Park in April. At Donington Dries Van Langendonck took pole position and then dominated race 1 and 3, taking two wins away from the weekend, and highlighting himself as one to watch.


Moving onto this weekend, the series will be racing around the Indy layout, which is 1.94km and consists of only 6 turns, making it one of the shortest on the calendar, meaning fans are treated to the most racing laps. The circuit promises action with the long runs, Paddock Hill bend gives a chance for drivers to use slipstreams to get ahead of competitors. The long runs in and out of the bend gives the opportunity for drivers to reach top speeds and show their speed and competitiveness.

Here is the schedule for the weekend:


Saturday 9th May

10:00 - Qualifying 

16:10 - Race 1 


Sunday 10th May

12:10 - Race 2 

16:35 - Race 3 


(All times in BST)


In terms of ones to watch this weekend, there’s a few to look out for. Joseph Smith is currently second in the championship and was close to Van Langendonck all weekend last time out. He looked strong all weekend and will be wanting to continue that moment into this round.


Dries Van Langendonck, was the strongest one out last round, the first round of the season, he set himself as one to watch and that he is a strong driver. Also being backed by McLaren, brings the extra eyes onto him and an extra pressure to perform.
