[23] The ninth Euroformula Open season began at Circuito do Estoril with Oliver Goethe taking pole position.
Behind him, Vladislav Lomko soon overtook Sebastian Øgaard for second, before Goethe followed through, salvaging a podium in the end after having dropped as low as eighth place during the race.
The last race was won by Øgaard, who led from lights to flag, resisting attacks from Lubin and eventually coming out 0.1 seconds ahead.
Nicola Marinangeli was the first to crash around the narrow track, bringing out a safety car around the halfway point.
Following the restart, the gaps between the drivers began to grow again, before Lubin and Nico Pino collided into turn one on the last lap, leaving the leading trio untouched.
Goethe had climb back up the order; a great overtake on Ugran and Mason crashing out saw him finish in third at the end.
A win and a podium helped Goethe extend his championship lead to 19 points over Mansell, with Øgaard's anonymous weekend dropping him to fourth.
[32][33][34] The Hungaroring weekend saw the departure of Van Amersfoort Racing, reducing the grid to ten entries.
Lomko won qualifying and race one began with a three-car battle for the lead that allowed Goethe past second-placed Lubin.
Fights behind him ended Alex García's race and meant Lomko could pull out a gap and finish first, ahead of Lubin and Goethe.
The second race saw Mason force leader Simmons off the track, which enabled Lomko to come through and take the lead.
This order remained until the last lap, where the leaders made contact, giving Lubin a puncture and allowing Simonazzi and Goethe through.
Lubin passed the slow-starting Mansell off the line to get second, and Goethe had a spin while trying to gain a podium that sent him back to sixth.
Mansell was in second, before a collision with Simonazzi saw him crash, flip his car on top and slide into the gravel.
He first took pole in qualifying, started the first race by holding off the rest of the field and then set off to win by a considerable margin ahead of Simonazzi and Mansell.
Champion-elect Goethe completed the podium of a race where only eight cars took to the grid, seven less than the previous low point for a season finale.
The departure of Van Amersfoort Racing saw the remaining rounds struggle to reach double-digit entry numbers.
With concerns arising around the health and future of the championship at the end of the season, meetings took place to discuss a new series to replace it.
