James Egozi has left his mark again in the **Eurocup-3** championship, achieving a new victory in Monza, his fourth consecutive of the season. After triumphing at Le Castellet, Portimão, and Imola, the American has demonstrated his superiority, having captured the trophy at every track he has competed at this year.
Despite starting from seventh position due to a penalty, Egozi began the race with great determination. With drivers Alex Powell and Gianmarco Pradel spinning out, Egozi quickly climbed to fourth position. His pursuit of the lead progressed successfully when he overtook Patrick Heuzenroeder on the sixth lap and, shortly after, did the same with Al Azhari on the track leading to Ascari.
The race took a decisive turn when Rafaël Pérard, who was leading at that moment, made a mistake at Ascari. Egozi seized the opportunity, overtaking Pérard before entering Parabolica. This maneuver set him on course for his fifth victory of the season, although Pérard tried to recover until the last moment.
Alongside Egozi and Pérard, René Lammers managed to complete the podium, finishing in third position after battling with Heuzenroeder and Al Azhari, who finished in fifth and sixth place respectively. Christopher El Feghali was another standout driver, finishing fourth and showing great pace throughout the race.
Drivers Thomas Strauven and Heitor Dall’Agnol continued their constant fight at the top of the standings, with Strauven scoring points for the fifth consecutive time. Although he was unable to reach the podium, he remains in a good position in the overall standings.
The race was marked by an incident that triggered the only safety car of the day on lap 11, when Stefan Bostandjiev caused an accident at the first Lesmo. Nevertheless, the 29 drivers who competed displayed commendable sportsmanship, largely avoiding collisions on a circuit with so many chances for incidents.
After the race, Andrej Petrović received a 10-second penalty for gaining an advantage from running off track, thus losing his place in the points zone, which went to Alex Powell, who secured the last point in the standings.
The next event of the championship will take place at the same track, offering drivers a new opportunity to showcase their talent and compete for the title in an increasingly exciting year.
