Doubek's Resurgence Highlights Thrilling Round 5
Doubek's path to the checkered flag was anything but straightforward. After a violent crash in the opening laps left him with a bruised shoulder, the Czech driver fought through pain to reclaim positions and ultimately seize victory in the OPEN division. The win marks his first triumph of the 2026 campaign and lifts him to 15th place in the overall standings.
The event unfolded under testing weather, with rain slicing through the track and forcing teams to adapt on the fly. In that chaotic environment, Robin Bleekemolen made a striking OPEN debut, capturing the Lady Trophy while finishing behind the leaders. Meanwhile, Raphael Lessard recovered from a spin to climb to fourth, showcasing the resilience that has defined his season.
The battle for the championship remains razor‑thin. Gil Linster continues to impress with four podiums in five events, while Thomas Toffel’s early retirement after the final restart highlighted the unpredictability of the series. Thomas Dombrowski finished fourth, edging out Sandro Tavartkiladze in a close duel that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Looking ahead, the calendar will shift to Round 6, where V8GP will take the green flag first, setting the stage for another round of high‑stakes competition. Drivers from across the globe — including Spain, France, Luxembourg, Georgia and Canada — will converge, promising yet another chapter of drama and skill.
Beyond the podium, the grid also features Beitske Visser, Mariam Davitidze, Melvin de Groot, Andre Lortie and Maxim van Laere, ensuring a rich mix of talent that will shape the series moving forward.
