The E4 Spanish Winter Championship came to its conclusion in Navarra with Belgian Thomas Strauven (Griffin Core by Campos Racing) taking the crown with a total of 2 wins, 6 of 9 podiums, 4 Fastest Laps and 3 Pole Positions.
The battle for the title began with the two main contenders, Strauven and his teammate Jan Przyrowski, at the top. The Polish driver struck first, securing his fourth victory in the championship despite the Belgian starting from Pole. Alongside them, Ean Eyckmans claimed his second podium in the category, keeping his hopes alive for the Rookie title.
The Sprint Race and reverse grid introduced a new winner to the championship: Yani Stevenheydens (MP Motorsport), while Miguel Costa (Campos Racing) earned his first podium. Alongside them, Thomas Strauven secured his fifth consecutive podium.
Final race arrived with a 12-point lead for Strauven over Przyrowski with both drivers starting outside top-10 after a difficult Q2.
René Lammers crossed the finish line in P1 but a 5-seconds penalty for a false start gave the win to Andrej Petrović (T-Code), the first one for him and the team in this category. Nathan Tye finished P2 with Lammers in P3 after a 10-seconds penalty for Strauven (finally P4 after finishing third).
On the other hand, important milestones for Santiago Baztarrica and Sacha van’t Pad Bosch after scoring their first points in the series.
Taking all results into account, Thomas Strauven clinched the E4 Spanish Winter Championship title (143) over Jan Przyrowski (118), René Lammers (76), Nathan Tye (74) and Vivek Kanthan (73) who became Rookie Champion while Griffin Core by Campos Racing had no rival for Teams Title.
