Formula Master: Exciting win for Puglisi

By ,

Pro Motorsport's Marcello Puglisi took his first Formula Master victory of the season today in a thrilling street race, which saw the Italian spin out on track as the race was red-flagged following a huge downpour in Pau, France. The 22-year-old led from start to finish, despite two safety car periods which prevented him from building up any lead from second placed-man Kasper Andersen. With rain beginning to fall heavily on lap 23, Puglisi spun out towards the ever-present barriers, along with several other cars, just as the race was suspended due to the weather. Despite a strong start, Trident Racing's Andersen was unable to pass Puglisi throughout the 35-minute race and kept his second place starting position for the duration. Team-mate Alejandro Nüñez clinched third place, ahead of Cram Competition's Arturo Llobell in fourth, after overtaking him following the race's second safety car period.
