00:00we are go for season nine and joshua turkson gives us our first lead change within seconds
00:07of the 2025 season and leads us down towards the first corner leo fornaroli in second we've got a
00:14car off already at the first corner dropping down the order there but a clean start all round
00:20otherwise it's turkson and fornaroli then we've got luke browning in third place richard bishaw
00:27is next along roman stanick in fifth place clean start for joshua dirksen perfect launch off the
00:33line and he is up into the lead oh damage already that's damage for victor martins i believe it is
00:41victor martins oh dear our pole sitter for tomorrow will not go any further in this sprint race disaster
00:49for the frenchman he is out this is what appears to have occurred for him they're heading towards
00:54turn five and he's just lost it lost the rear of the car uh into the mid corner of turn five there
01:01an unforced error from martins yeah there we see another replay lost the rear of the car completely
01:06didn't he and into the barriers and that's a brutal section of the circuit you cannot get away with the
01:11mistake there at all in the silver high tech there dino biganovic can he make a move on roman stanick
01:19he's going to be brave around the outside of 11 and he's going to be rewarded for that bravery dino
01:24biganovic the super swede going into fifth place great driving from dino here's the move for mini
01:32that many uh making this move past marty then and uh down the inside through the super quick section of
01:41the racetrack big braking zone down towards turn 11 jumping on board with oliver goertha uh who's
01:48sitting in 12th position in the race uh at the moment and uh is this going to be the move on
01:52villa gomez that he's going to make around the outside of turn 13 or neat and tidy stuff here's
02:00breadth in it brinkmanship at its finest there between goertha and villa gomez and we've got a safety
02:07car and that looks like a trident possibly that has gone in to the barriers max esterson uh who has
02:13gone off that sounds like a big entry spin to me just losing the rear on entry and then burying it
02:21uh deep in the beach unfortunately shame for max esterson off into the gravel and that is the end of his
02:30race oh spin dino biganovic has gone round there uh at turn nine dino biganovic catches it back
02:40sebastian montoya the red and white primer took uh avoidance there good avoidance from him mini
02:46likewise and dino biganovic gets back going again this is what's going to happen with biganovic look
02:54the invictor of stanek to the inside biganovic tries to give him space around the outside of turn
03:00nine gets on the dirty stuff and it's not going to happen look stanek looks to the inside biganovic
03:05sees him there thinks i can't turn in
03:07just a little bit of inexperience there
03:14two tridents now out of this race sami megatunif backwards into the gravel at turn 10
03:22uh and that's a real shame and that just ends a very sorry race for trident unfortunately
03:28he's going to do a very similar thing to biganovic look what a great evasive action there uh from the
03:35the van amsport car behind megatunif just uh looping it then gets on the dirty stuff and and exactly the
03:44same moment uh that biganovic had but just didn't have the presence of mind uh to be able to catch it
03:50here we go then mini on montoya down towards three teammates fighting each other at turn three
04:02montoya getting his elbows out there good defensive driving from sebastian montoya
04:08to hold off gabriele mini and he stays there in p6 this is bringing into the battle pepe marty
04:16and he's got fellow red bull junior with him arvid limblad as well so this could turn into a four-way
04:24battle look at that look at that yeah full send great stuff oh there from alex dunn and uh just
04:31getting the rear out slightly under braking as well out front though it's going to be full points
