For a championship where 50 points are awarded for a win to be decided by just a single point, suggests it was a pretty remarkable campaign. And that is certainly one way of describing a dramatic Mini Challenge showdown at Brands Hatch last weekend where the three points awarded for fastest lap in the third contest ultimately decided the outcome in reigning champion Tom Ovenden’s favour.
It was abundantly clear the finale would be far from straightforward after qualifying. Last time out at Silverstone it was a bunch of drivers disqualified for failing to wear fireproof socks that led to a jumbled grid, on this occasion it was two red flags and a session that was curtailed when only half of the drivers had set a time that mixed up the order.
