Antinucci wins Le Mans race two
Richard Antinucci was again the master of the reverse grid race in the F3 Euroseries, scoring at Le Mans his second season win, after triumphing also at Barcelona in the previous round
Antinucci led from start to finish, benefiting in the early stages from fresh tyres on his HBR-run car.
He was caught in the latter stages by Charlie Kimball (Signature), whose tyres came on song in the second half of the race as Antinucci's overheated, but he just couldn't find a way past his fellow American.
Kohei Hirate (Manor) finished third, ahead of Jonathan Summerton (Mucke), Guillaume Moreau (Signature) and Paul di Resta (ASM).
Di Resta is now 15 points ahead with only 17 on offer in the series finale at Hockenheim. His rival, Sebastian Vettel, actually passed him in Sunday's race, only to slide into the gravel later on, gifting another point to the Scot. Vettel finished down in ninth.
