Kimster taps Flobadob into a spin as the POWA McLarens lead the way.	But for the second race in a row, they got a little too close for comfort.	Indy Alfa took over the lead of the race after POWA dropped back.	Some rare breathing room on the back straight.
Once again, Flobadob had a stellar drive from the back.	Shouty passed DanThorn for the lead before the pit stops.	The capacity crowd cheer Smifaye's American V8 on.	Mr Flobadob makes a last-minute strategy call.
Lobby 2 get the final race of the season underway.	File:.jpg Caption	File:.jpg Caption	Don Mateo gave Icthyes a fright on the very last lap.

Lobby 1 crests the hill.	Mr Flobadob passes Kimstermagnum early on.	The 3 Trofeo contenders occupy the top 3 spots.	The Esses were tricky to navigate
Bookoi and Smifaye kiss as DanThorn watches on in delight.	The chicane offered an overtaking spot for the brave.	Flavoury and Ajokay had little regard for wing mirrors.	Objects in your mirror are more sideways than they appear.
Primary colours shine bright.	Smifaye takes the win and the Trofeo.	File:.jpg Caption	File:.jpg Caption
