British Championship Final Focus: 8 leads away 84 takes the lead into turn 1 and keeps out of reach of his sister's front bumper 97 flies in with a big hit scattering the cars ahead. 368 hits the fence hard and 216, 452, and 339 collide with him. Red flag and a complete re-start Take two: An explosive start this time. Entering turn one 97 comes in all guns blazing taking everyone to the fence and into the lead down the back straight! Into turn 3 and 2 gets fired into 16 with Mat hitting the fence with great force Caution 97, 84 and 8 head the restart 97 is off like a scalded cat taking an outside line from turn 3 to the green and opening up a big lead 408 does the business and removes 84 from the race with a big hit on 8 who cannons into her brother. Amidst much tyre smoke and cheering from the crowd Tom retires to the infield. Another big pile up into turn 2 leaves 212 minus the left rear wheel and 157 broadside Caution 97 sets sail again As the laps wind down 8 and 526 are catching 97 At halfway 526 has dropped away from the lead pair slightly Catherine is stalking Ryan in the closing laps and we are all waiting for the last bender Through turn 2 for the last time Ryan moves off-line to the outside to lure Catherine up the inside but she doesn't fall for that one. Into turn 3 and she's in with a bazooka of a hit. Both slam the fence with 8 climbing over the top of 97 and rolling over. Finn comes through for the victory! An amazing end to an action packed race 👍👍 That's it folks. I'll be back from Buxton 👍
