Race
The race went at quarter to two, by which time the track was totally dry and the conditions sunny much to everyone's relief!

Starting from the first row, Ryan made a good start though Steve on pole had the advantage of the inside line for the first corner. With a power advantage, Steve pulled away some half a second per lap. "Three laps in I was able to match Steven's times for a good five laps and kept pushing" said Ryan, "but it was always going to be difficult to match his power but of course I was pleased with a strong second".
