He gets going but then spins it in turn 3 coming to a stop in the middle of the turn. The car gets collected at full chat by 178. Caution to move the stranded cars. 263 from 132 heads the restart. Within one lap 263 is bundled down to 9th place. H318 and H194 charge the turn 3 fence. 526 now leads with some forceful moves. 287 fires H6 in big time entering turn 3. 263 exiting the turn is collected in the incident.

World Final second start: 1 heads this start and gains a small gap through turn 4. A challenge from 16 into turn 1 sees the 1 car bounce off the fence. He keeps the lead but the right rear tyre is now rubbing on the nerf rail. Hits going in aplenty throughout the field especially from the Netherland drivers. A caution for a stranded H248. 515 has now moved ahead of 16. 1, a lap down 525, 515 and 16 head the restart. 259 scatters the cars ahead into turn 3. At the halfway stage 515 has shortened the gap. With the tyre rub having eased the 1 car has to negotiate the backmarkers as the laps wind down. 2 to go and Frankie is ever closer. 1 to go and it's game on. As they charge down the back straight for the last time 515 lines it up. He takes turn 3 across the infield kerb with great speed to pile-drive the 1 car into the fence. A lap down 446 in front of 1 helps to lessen the hit. Both 515 and 1 bounce off the fence in a shower of sparks with Frankie half spinning. Tom guns it to make it over the line to become a 5 time World Champ 👍 -

Heat Two Happenings: 226 leads away. The 484 and 178 bumpers go flying in as the pack enters turn 3 coming to the green. 523 takes the challenge to 226 and the pair engage in a great battle over the next few laps. Brooke fights her way ahead. 263 and 505 tangle on the exit to turn 4. 11 goes around in a cloud of tyre smoke in turn 4. Unfortunately Brooke's lead comes to an end with a flat right rear. 540 suffers a flat left rear which throws the car into the turn 1 fence. A four-wide Netherlands pack create a spectacular sight as they race down the home straight. 307 chases the race winning 226 car over the line. -

Welcome to Aldershot folks. Semi-Final One 183 leads away. 3 takes it to 183 into the first corner with 560 also coming through. 183 fights back as 213 starts to close in. 47, 903 and 844 have retired. An enthralling multi-lap battle follows between 213 and 560 with some hard hits traded. 183 has moved clear and just has to deal with back-marking traffic. 560 has eked out a small gap until 3 to go when 213 closes in once again. 542 retires. As 183 takes the win 213 tries for a last bender on 560 into turn 3 but to no avail and just keeps it out of the fence. -

That's it folks. A real turn the clock back feel watching from the back straight on a Monday evening. The sound of the cars powering out of turn 2 (especially 55) was superb 👍 I'll be back from Skegness.
