Leonardo Pulcini has wrapped up the Euroformula Open title in style by beating rival?Ferdinand Habsburg to the win in race two at Jerez.

Hong Li Ye?took eighth in front of?Ameya Vaidyanathan?and?Tanart Sathienthirakul.
Damiano Fioravanti retired into the gravel on the first lap after tagging?Julio Moreno.
