Rafael Câmara returns to the summit of formula 3 on Sunday (13). The Brazilian, who was recently promoted to this category, took control of the Bahrain stage and won his second victory in the fetus race against Tradement, with a time of 1H54min946s, to reach the mark of 56 points and maintain the leadership of the F-3 Pilot World Cup. After opening a comfortable progress at the forefront, he did not give any opportunity for Calum Voynon (Roden Motorsport) in the SAKHIR race.
In addition, Câmara impresses the Trident’s Italians and begins to shine in the same team as Gabriel Bortoleto began his career in search of a place in Formula 3 – and the world champion has become two seasons. The Brazilian anthem had already sang in Melbourne, Australia in the first stage of season.
The European regional formula champion last year, the Brazilian added the maximum points in the two race in Formula 3 so far: victory, pole position and return faster. In Bahrain, after the weak performance in the SPRINT (twelfth place) and a bad start, immediately after winning the pole for the stage.
After starting the race forward and with new tires, Câmara needed three rolls to resume the leadership of Bahrain and recover in the race. In the first lap, he could not resist Callum Voisin. After a virtual safety car, with the minimum distance between the two pilots, the Brazilian moved forward and has not faced any difficulties since then.
When across the finish line, score a six second feature for Voycen. Tim Tarmetz closed Bahrain in third place and closed the second place for the World Drivers World Cup, with the addition of 30 points in the first races of the season. Voisin is approaching the classification, with 27 points so far.
“It was a long race,” Câmara said after the race.
A formula 3 now takes a break and only returns in May, to the IMOLA class, between 16 and 18 May. In everything, the category season consists of ten races and ends in Monza in September. After two consecutive world titles in 2023 with Gabriel Portolo, and in 2024, with Leonardo Furnaroli, Tride is trying to repeat the dose with the room this year.
