Classification
Qualifying
Notes:
- ^1 – Paul Aron was handed two separate five-place grid penalties for the sprint race for forcing another driver off the track and for causing a collision at the previous round.[3]
- ^2 – Victor Martins could not set a meaningful laptime due to a mechanical failure. The stewards permitted him to start both races from the last position on the grid.[4]
Sprint Race
The Sprint race was set to be held on 27 July 2024, at 14:15 local time (UTC+2), however, due to heavy rain, it was postponed to 18:15 local time on the same day. The race saw only 5 laps of action after a Safety Car was deployed as Pepe Martí's Campos Racing car stopped on the track on lap 3 due to a mechanical failure.
The race was red flagged and was not resumed after 2 laps under the Safety Car owing to the poor visibility due to the heavy rain. Because less than 50% of the racing distance was completed, reduced points were awarded, with the top 5 classified drivers receiving 5 points down to 1, with no fastest lap point awarded.
Feature Race
Notes:
- ^3 - Kush Maini and Roman Staněk each received a 5-second time penalty for repeated track-limit violations.
- ^4 - Paul Aron did not finish the race, as his engine failed on the last lap. Because he had completed more than 90% of the race distance, he was classified 16th.
