Ram Racing’s Noel Leon extended his NACAM Formula 4 lead with a win and two other podiums at Autodromo Miguel E. Abed.
His Scuderia Martiga rival Nico Christodoulou was on average the quicker driver over the weekend, and after beating Leon to pole for race one he went on take a comfortable win by 3.261 seconds.
Pablo Perez de Lara took third place for RPL Racing, as the debuting Reece Gold just pipped Jose Garfias Martinez for fourth. Further back were Gold’s fellow Americans David Morales and Nolan Siegel, who finished sixth and seventh on the roval.
The top seven were reversed for the grid of race two, and Martiga’s Siegel looked in control of the race until the final few laps, when he dropped to seventh. RPL driver Garfias Martinez inherited the lead, with Siegel’s team-mate Gold in tow, while Siegel finished a disappointed sixth.
Leon and Christodoulou were third and fourth, and were joined by Siegel in the battle for race three victory. The advantage of pole position was used well by Leon, who kept in the lead as the Martiga duo tried to take bites out of him.
At the end of the race the three were separated by 1.310s, with Leon leading Siegel and Christodoulou.
Championship frontrunner Emiliano Richards was absent from his RPL seat, and it is unknown whether he will return to the series at the next round.
