C Final

   

Stephen was now in unfamiliar territory for him as he arrived at the pointier end of the grid.  I will say that I hope it becomes familiar territory for him and can’t wait to see how he does in May. He would be staying in yellow for the 4th race in a row with Mike (red), Keith (blue) and Ollie (white) his new combatants.  

   

Mike got off the line quickest but Ollie overtook him on lap 2 and then Mike suffered a huge crash which sent him to the back.  Keith had a big one at the same time which left Ollie leading Stephen from Keith and Mike.  As you’d expect from a multiple race winner like Keith, he was absolutely flying after that accident but he had lost 2 laps to Ollie.  He clawed one back on pace alone but it wasn’t enough as Ollie drove a beautifully measured race to the flag. 
 
   

Stephen had a great race here too but several crashes including a long one on lap 18 meant the fairy tale ended in this race and Mike recovered his race to regain 3rd and relegate Stephen to p4.  What a brilliant evening of driving it had been for Stephen though.
