Misano 03/10/2015 On a track more adapt to rain tyres than slicks, teams have had a tough decision to make on whether to mount one or the other type. Finally, only 3 drivers have raced with rain tyres: Raul Guzman Marchina (Malta Formula Racing), Ye Yifei and Julia Pankiewicz (RB Racing).

Race start is behind safety car for safety reasons, and poleman Shwartzamn (Muecke Motorsport) manages to keep first position, with Aron steady behind. In the meanwhile, Guzman, starting from 8th position with rain tyres, manages to catch up on the first drivers and finally overtake Aron.

On lap six an accident with car going upside down (with no consequence for the driver) of Kevin Kanayet (Malta Formula Racing), makes it necessary for safety car to come in the track, compacting the group.
After the safety car exits, the track is dry along trajectory and slick drivers are much faster, even though overtaking is extremely difficult dew to track still being wet outside the trajectory.

Aron is the fastest to come out of the group, avoiding any possible accident, followed by Alex Peroni (Torino Squadra Corse). In the successive positions, battle is incredible, especially between Schwartzman and Diego Bertonelli (RB Racing). Schwartzman manages in the final laps to overtake Bertonelli, who fantastically counter-overtakes the Russian and gains third position again, conquering the podium.

This afternoon race 2 will start at 16:20.
