The second round of the 2022 Formula Pro Series happens later today, 23rd May 2022, and it’s Team Redline who currently leads the way.
However, the highspeed straights of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza await for the 12 teams and 24 competitors – slipstreaming in both qualifying and the race could be key to a strong result.
With every entrant using an identical V10-powered 800bhp single-seaters, the field during the opening round two weeks ago at Spa-Francorchamps was closely stacked and delivered a frenetic race.
There, 2021 runner up Jeffrey Rietveld took pole position but came under pressure from Wolves GR Esports’ driver Adam Maguire in the early stages.
After a hectic race, Rietveld held on to win ahead of teammate Kevin Siggy who rose through the ranks throughout the race. Winner of every Formula Pro Series race last season, Bono Huis finished third after a heated exchange with R8G Esport’s Marcell Csincsik.
Success ballast allocation
The second round will mark the first time success ballast comes into play, with the following allocated ballast on championship standings: Rietveld 10kg, Siggy 7kg, Huis 4kg.
Round format
The Monza round consists of one race that lasts 60-minutes. Qualifying is one 15-minute session.
What time does the second Formula Pro Series round start?
Round 2 of the 2022 Formula Pro Series from Monza starts at 7 pm BST / 8 pm CEST / 11 am PT / 2 pm ET.
The presenters for each round will be esteemed sports broadcaster Rachael Downie, GB3 and GB4 commentator Lewis McGlade and John Munro.
Live race coverage is on the Traxion.GG Facebook Page, Twitch and YouTube Channels. It will also be live on Autosport and Motorsport.com’s Facebook pages.
What sim racing platform does Formula Pro Series use?
