He then plunged into the chaotic multi-car battle within the mid-pack to advance further into P3. A temporary setback saw Martin slip to P4, but the driver responded immediately as he capitalized on a critical opportunity to reclaim a podium spot. Crossing the line in P3, he locked in his first podium of the weekend, and a post-race penalty handed to a fellow competitor bumped him up to P2.
Starting from the 13th position, Adrian LAI charged forward to 10th place overall right after the race began. He then engaged in duels with experienced opponents; although his ranking fluctuated, he still managed to improve his position and finished 12th.
