Marcin Malinski (Poland) has continued his winning streak with a 3rd straight victory in the fresh 2015 season, after winning the VRC Worlds at Naxos end of December as well.
Under perfect dry racing conditions (no rain like during the real GP Montpellier…) Malinski managed to keep the hard charging Uwe de Zwart from Austria who led the first half of this A-main final, behind him. A double crash in lap 24 cost de Zwart a real change on a first Pro class victory. Spanish David Barcena drove a steady race and challenged both Malinski and de Zwart for second place several times but had to settle for 3rd in the end some 13 seconds down on de Zwart.

Qualifying is underway for the opening race at the new Montpellier track. Laptimes are already down to the low 34 seconds and at around 12 AM Frenchman Amthony Breuyer was leading the pack. But it's still early in qualifying so we can expect to see a few more top racers join the qualifying (ending Sunday morning 10 AM GMT...)
