Jamie Osborne had been utterly dominant during the opening two weekends of the Mini Challenge season, but a problem-filled Saturday at Oulton Park gave others the chance to shine.
Osborne enjoyed a colossal 64-point lead heading to Cheshire, although that advantage was in danger of being wiped out after fuel system problems plagued his qualifying. His NAPA Mini had just returned to the track when the session was red-flagged, leaving Osborne without a time and starting from the back.
