ACC utilizes the 2019 version of the facility, which is not too different from the current model of the track sans a few infrastructure and minor track changes to bring it up to Formula 1 standards. The 2019 version is 4.307-kilometers or 2.676-miles in length. The old version classifies the track with 15 corners while the new one is down to 14. Circuit Zandvoort is next up on the Formula 1 calendar.
As it’s been all season, qualifiers were open beforehand to get the 20 best in each region entered into the event. After closed qualifying the day before, the dual races per region took place on Sunday. APAC ran first, the EMEA group second, and NALA would run later on in the day.
EMEA ZANDVOORT: Sherratt continues to dominate
As usual, the EMEA region belonged to Jordan Sherratt from start to finish. In qualifying, Sherratt put it on the pole position, then went on to dominate in the first of two races.
Not even Rafael Alves could beat Sherratt, even without a pit stop. The resulting penalty to Alves dropped him from fifth to 18th in the running order due to not servicing his Lamborghini.
The second and longer race was more of the same for Sherratt. This time, everyone in the event managed to take their proper pit stop. Sherratt only lost the lead during the pit stops, but with no full course yellows, the only way anyone would catch him would be with a mistake. Andrea Benedetti managed to finish second in both races.

With no Kevin Siclari, Tinko van der Velde or Martin Kadlečík in the field, Sherratt is able to expand upon his points lead at halfway through the season. Sherratt leads by 73 over Siclari, and that means that he’s got more than a full event’s points advantage with five races to go.
NALA ZANDVOORT: Moreira triumphs for double win
It looked like William Hendrickson was going to be the dominant force once again in the NALA region as he claimed the pole position once again over Diego Cargnin, Gabriel Felipe and Fidel Moreira. Moreira had the race pace, however and barely took the first race victory over Felipe by less than 0.4 seconds. Hendrickson wound up finishing in third.

With the double win, Moreira was able to cut into Hendrickson’s lead, now down to 21 points. Felipe also gained on the leader with his pair of runner up finishes.
APAC ZANDVOORT: O’Hara untouchable at Zandvoort
Much like the EMEA region, the APAC region featured a dominating performance from one driver from qualifying through both races. For the APAC region, it was Andrew O’Hara in charge, winning by a landslide over Davlish Singh in the first event. Point leader Egor Ogorodnikov wound up fourth.

In the longer feature race, Gary Huang made his way up from sixth to second on the grid for a runner up, edging Ogorodnikov by a few seconds for the spot. Once again, however, it was O’Hara who won the event by over 16 seconds.
