~Lap by Lap~
Qualifying: The final race of the season made everyone yet more hungry to win and end their season on a high. Ben Tusting, after being narrowly pipped to the post at the last race, took pole by a fraction of a section fom Niels Pedersen with Omer Said in third.
Lap 1: A great start! From fifth place on the grid, Honk jumps into third. At the end of the first lap, Ben Tusting leads, Honk in second, Niels Pedersen third, Omer Said 4th, Seb Levret in fifth, Peter Duivilaar 6th, Viljar Parts 7th, Respati 8th, Rhys Gardiner ninth and bduddy bringing up the rear.
Lap 5: Tusting, Honk and Pedersen are begining to pull away. At the back, bduddy nearly smashes into Respati as he tries to find a way past.
Lap 11: Somehow, Sebastian Levret, on his debut, is beginning to make his move, and is the fastest on the track. Levret jumps Said down the back straight. Tusting leads from Honk and Pedersen third, Levret is in fourth, fifth Said, sixth Parts, seventh Rhys Gardiner, Respati eigth, Duivilaar a poor ninth and bduddy bringing up the back.
Lap 14: Pedersen, Parts and Duivilaar pit. Duivilaar's pit crew does a faultless job as always and he gains time.
Lap 16: Honk, Tusting, Parts and Levret now pit. After their pitstops, Respati leads from bduddy, Omer Said third, Tusting fourth, Honk fifth, Pedersen sixth, Duivilaar 7th, Levret 8th, Parts 9th and Gardiner brings up the rear.
Lap 19: Respati, Said and bduddy pit. With 11 laps left, Tusting leads from Honk with Pedersen in third.
Lap 23: The final order is now beginning to sort itself out. Parts begins his final push, moving past Levret into fifth, Omer Said radios in to report gearbox troubles and his team ask him to preserve the gearbox and Respati is let through.
Lap 27: Parts has now moved past Duivilaar into fourth, but Pedersen is now too far ahead to be overtaken in the remaining time.
Lap 30: In an amazing final lap to the season, Honk pulls out of Tusting's slipstream and moves past him. He runs wide and Tusting pulls back into the lead. At turn four, Honk once again misses out by a hair's breadth, and loses time. Finally, down the main straight, Honk pulls out of the slipstream, and slips past the line by 0.1 second. Could we have wished for a better end to the season?
