For his main campaign Fluxá would move to R-ace GP, remaining in the Formula Regional European series.[10][11] His season started in strong fashion, as he took his first podium in the series at the season opening race at Monza.[12] However, following a late coming-together with teammate Gabriel Bortoleto in Race 2,[13] the Spaniard would have to wait for two rounds until scoring his next points, a pair of eighth-place finishes at Le Castellet.[14] More points followed at Spa-Francorchamps, where Fluxá managed to finish fifth,[15] before getting two points at the events in Austria and Spain respectively. He finished his season with another fifth place, this time at Mugello, which meant that Fluxá ended up twelfth in the standings, behind his teammates Hadrien David and Bortoleto.[16]
