After they separate 217 is spun out in turn 4 by 259 who has been harpooned by a fast charging 515. 346 is long gone and has set sail for the victory. 1 takes 20 and 464 in one move as the laps wind down. 515 is getting ever closer to the World Champ but runs out of laps to make a move. That's it from me this weekend folks. Back from Skeggy 👍

GN Result: H410, 1, 16, 197, 259, 2, 175, 150, 217, 220, 45 and 295.

GN Notes The first lap sees 220 spin it in turn 4, and 150 entering turn 1. Mick then proceeds to leather it down the straights bouncing off the fence. 197, 1 and 515 are the quick men coming through from the back. 124 passes race leading 45. 197 pushes the 1 car into the back of 25 in turn 4. Tom gets locked on the back which takes both cars to the fence and Brad ends up rolling it just before the start line. 191 leads off at the restart. 197 then starts with some awesome hits. First to get it is 463 into turn 1. 515 passes him into turn 1 next lap before getting launched into turn 3. The big daddy hit comes when Ryan cannons 16 into turn 1 which ends up with Mat hitting some parked cars. Restart after a caution has the 1 car forcing his way up the inside of 197 into turn 1. Entering turn 3 the race leading 191 blows up big time creating a huge smokescreen which cuts off visibility over half the track. The 1 car takes it steady through the turn which lets 197 up the inside. The caution flies followed by some fantastic closing laps with Ryan and Tom powering sideways inches apart through the turns. The twitching front wheels evidence of their skilful input behind the wheel. It was a sublime demonstration of racecraft honed in the US of A. However, try as they might they were unable to catch the race leading H410. The last lap has 16 put a super hit on 197 entering turn 3 which sees Ryan clatter along the fence and Mat gain the place. Jelle wins again! A fantastic race! That's it folks, back from Brafield next week.

Final Focus 45 leads them away. 381 and 463 go around in turn 4. 220 and 197 are moving rapidly through the field. 197 goes around in turn 2. 150 and 1 engage in battle through turn 1. 212 takes on and passes both with ease. 1 goes around in turn 2 a couple of laps later. 197 pulls off just before the caution flag flies. 175 pull onto the centre with a locked front left before the restart. 515 spins unaided in turn 4 on the first lap of the restart on the freshly watered track. 166 wallops 45 going into turn 1 which ends Nige's good run up front. 217 catches race leader 220 with a well timed hit into turn 3 and leaves the field behind for the victory. The remaining laps see a high speed train circulating with the last lap seeing 259 just getting past 1 for the position exiting turn 4.

Consolation Catch Up 120 half spins in turn 3 on the first lap which sees 150 trip over his back wheel but keep going. 150 cannons 392 into turn 1. At the opposite end next lap 392 half spins and delays 515 momentarily. 220 is flying through from the back. 234 leads for a number of laps until a coming together with 295 in turn 1 leaves him with a buckled rear right wheel. The closing laps see 515 pass 220 for the win, and 526 nudge 150 aside in turn 3 to get the place over the line.
