Testing on Friday went well with Nathan heading the timesheets comfortably in both sessions , followed up on Saturday with 3 pole positions in qualifying. Needing only 4 points from the first race it would have been easy to just let the pack go and come in 14th to clinch the title, however Nathan wanted to go out in style and despite some robust racing for the first few corners he eased away to record his 13th victory of the season and take the championship is style. ‘I didn’t want to win the championship with a safe finish, so I was always going to try and win this race, the car was great, Century Motorsport did a great job, EOS Productions support throughout the season kept me racing and it feels good to be a Champion again’, commented Nathan after the race.

With the Championship wrapped up Nathan now set about finishing the season in style by winning the remaining 2 races, which would give him a hat trick of wins at one meeting for the 3rd time. Race 2 was a near repeat of race 1 and an umcomplicated win, Race 3 however was a lot closer with Frank Wrathall right on his tail at the end. A brilliant end to the season, 15 wins, 14 poles, 22 podiums and 12 fastest laps, 28 finishes = 856 points and the Championship.  Picture by Chris Roberts / WiderViewPhotos
