Alessio Rovera took another Formula Abarth victory in race three at Vallelunga, narrowly edging out over Michele Beretta, who managed to hold him off for the majority of the race.

The Italian duo were in a class of their own, with third-placed Loris Spinelli finishing 17 seconds down. Spinelli narrowly managed to hold off Simone Iaquinta, who passed a number of people throughout the race. Luis Michael Dorrbecker finished fifth, ahead of Federico Pezzolla and Sergey Trofimov.

Aku Pellinen had a rather anonymous race, overtaken by lots of people in the end to finish eighth. Marco Tolama, Jr. and Lukas Moraes completed the top ten.

Rovera has a hefty lead in the championship after round one, 17 points ahead of Beretta with Iaquinta in third.
