Facu Regalia claims maiden Formula 3 win

After his pole position from qualifying session, the Campos Racing driver went on to win Sunday's race  leading from the lights to the flag, and after setting the fastest lap, he built a gap of seven seconds with his rivals .

Facu Regalia clinched his first victory ever in Formula 3 racing and the Argentine anthem was played during second race of Hungarian meeting for the European F3 Open.

Regalia, with his Dallara F312 fielded by Campos Racing, was the fastest during Sundays qualifying and  he didnt give the rest of the field an inch. Lap by lap  he built a gapto Sam Dejonghe and Gianmarco Raimondo, his closest opponents in race two.

It was incredible. I cant explain so many emotions coming to me right now. My start was good, and I knew that being leader my race pace was pretty good, and very fast in comparison with others. My car was perfect, and I appreciate that really incredible effort from Campos Racing, with an outstanding work since Thursday. My engineer played another key role, and we work perfectly together at Hungaroring. Incredible, I cant describe that emotion after winning, Regalia explained. In addition he said that now come back old memories, for example that race at Mugello last year but, now its past. We need to enjoy today. This victory is for my family and friends, Campos Racing, fans supporting me and Argentina. It is going to be a morale booster. The title is impossible but now were eying for new wins during the remaining races.
