Vernay converted his pole into a
lights-to-flag victory in Wuhan’s
Race 1 with Oriola and Shedden
joining him on the podium. The
French took the lead at the start
from Oriola, while Dupont and
Nathanaël Berthon – third and
fourth – collided.
The safety car was deployed after
Tom Coronel crashed into the back of
Fabrizio Giovanardi’s car. When
racing resumed, Vernay pulled away,
Oriola was safe in second place,
while Ehrlacher defended third from
Gordon Shedden and Vervisch. Before
the end, Shedden stole third from
Ehrlacher who was then dropped to
18th by a penalty for jump-start.
In Race 2, Bennani scored his
maiden victory, beating Aurélien
Comte at the last turn. The
Moroccan led from the start, but
during the two final laps was under
pressure from Comte and Berthon. A
few hundredths metres from the end
Comte hit a tyre stack, pushed the
rival’s car and went through.
However, he was wide at the last
turn and handed the first position
back to Bennani, but managed to
keep second ahead of Berthon.
Shedden became the thirteenth
