happening something’s springing into life I won’t give you the grid until we know for sure as to whether we’re going to get pictures or not for this one but of course what we did do was we did see a win earlier on today for Aiden Hills who claimed a win the race was brought to an abrupt halt I’m afraid as a result of an incident for Colin Wells out on circuit who uh went quite heftily into the barriers on the start Finish Line there and the whole side of the car was very badly damaged the car came to rest slap bang in the middle of the circuit with tires and melting in front of those tires strewn everywhere and by the time that we’d got the uh safety car out briefly then the red flags out and got it all cleared up there was never going to be time to restart that race so we’re hugely unfortunate that we weren’t able to see the conclusion of that race but all of the cars now are lining up a fine sight they make Jack as the the brand hatch sunlight the evening sunlights glinting off them down there on the grid yeah the only issue which we may start to encounter is if we do have live pitches at at points they will just be silhouettes of Mazda MX5 who might not be able to pick between the colors um as such is the height of the Sun at the moment or lack thereof but um yeah still great to see a capacity grid um here at bran Silverstone we weren’t as lucky we didn’t have quite so many cars but we uh do manage to fill the grid here at BR hatch of course um unfortunately we uh we won’t see Colin Wells understandably and I don’t think um Adrien Burge has got out that was the the sister car the markv very almost identical Livery um to Colin Wells also from BC cars it came to rest um after whatever happened to it at the bottom of Graham Hill Ben and I’ve never seen it since so I’m I’m guessing mechanical issue what have thought so yeah I mean we were busy looking at Colin Wells and to be fair we didn’t even spot that one did we to be perfectly honest because it was directly behind where we had been looking following the colling wells incident um so we are still struggling to get any sort of picture on this one what channel number did we say it was um I whichever one we’re on now 813 is this one still doing the same on 813 yes it is so clearly there’s a technical issue which is going to prevent us possibly getting any pictures for this one so we might be having to do it back off the circuit CCTV cameras once more so cars are on the grid just going to hang on until they start their rolling lap and then I’ll give you the grid for our second race of the day the final race of the weekend for the mayata trophy because they will not be out tomorrow they’ll pack things away and head to angle c will they no they’re at Brand Don Park next on the 29th of June before they then head to angles on the coastal circuit I think you’re that one am then it’s snon cwell Park Alton Park and back to here to BR hatch but they’re on the Indie circuit at the tail end of October where they’re supporting the lights of the Indie Car 500 as it’s called the 500 minutes into your okaya race that takes place right countdown can now commence because we’ve now got the recovery unit back in behind the barriers so with the cars on the grid and apologies if our audio is going out on the live stream but we can’t see any images for it once the cars head on to the formation lap I will guide you through the grid for this one so for the second race of the day this is based on the finishing positions from earlier on it is number eight Aiden Hills who starts on pole position and alongside him is Michael nibs row two of the grid sees Dean Lee lined up alongside John Langridge so the third row of the grid is number 88 which is Rowan Lundy and Nicholas St right we now have some pictures so welcome along to the live stream if you’re just joining us we can see the pictures now that will allow us to do that so Dean Lee as we said and D language on row number two Row three is Rowan Lundy and Nicholas stop that sit there on road number three row four of the grid is Will Morris and Drew Fletcher with the next row of the grid being row five is Connor Clifford and Daniel pin Smith the sixth row of the grid Alex Miller lines up alongside Simon Fleet and on row seven of the grid that’s where we see John Robinson who’s got Dave Chapman for company row eight of the grid Clive Pals on the inside of the eighth Row The Grid alongside Jack Hodges and then row nine of the Grid it’s Ian AEL and Dylan snapy that compris the ninth row of the grid the inside of the 10th row it’s Edward McDermot and he has got Martin Heath to keep him company on that 10th Row The Grid and row 11 sees Charlie Lane line up alongside Bruce Robinson Ray Wy is next up on row number 12 with Liz Walton sitting alongside him and then the final full row of the grid is Jude Wy who has got Gary Smith keeping her company then there’ll be a two row Gap and at the tail end of the field we should see Kevin sane at the tail end of the grid so this is our final Matata trophy race of the weekend before they head to Donnington park on the 30th of June for the next to them um whilst we didn’t get the full race in earlier on because of that incident that beell Colin Wells thankfully he’s okay the car will repair um I don’t think it would have affected the outcome of the race cuz because Aiden Hills was on fire absolutely I think still definitely want to watch but starting on PO position we’ll see what he can do I think Michael nibs Dean Lee and John Langridge starting second third and fourth that battle is just going to pick up exactly where it left off and one battle I’m hoping does start to reignite is the battle between Ian Abel and Jack Hodes Jack Hodges got the better of the two in the race we saw at the very start of this afternoon I’m hoping they they started fighting away again because that was just lap after lap after lap after lap absolutely noce detail it was brilliant it was good FM wasn’t it good value that one uh let’s hope that we get more than just what was it four laps in was it earlier on when five laps wasn’t it I think the result was declared at five laps in the end so hopefully this time we’ll get the full 20 minutes in for this one which should give them probably something like 12 laps something like that if we go the full distance so Aiden Hills is the number eight car that sits there on Pole Position the light blue car with the orange flashes alongside him it’s sort of red from one side but it’s gray from the other it’s got blue on the Bonnet in the hands of Michael nibs row two of the Grid it’s sort of a darkish green for Dean Lee alongside John langri’s car which is white with black and gray on it and Row three of the Grid it’s the burgundy colored car of and Lundy alongside the light blue Deo pink a black car of Nicholas St watch out for I would say the man who made good progress off the back of the grid last time having been given a 10c penalty the deow yellow car in the middle of the field is Dylan Stepney he had all of his qualifying times from this morning disallowed because the car was very slightly underweight and picked his way through the order well he should go even better now that he is amongst the main pack this time through red lights on on the Gantry and as the lights flash their way out now it’s a good start from Pole Position from Aiden Hills it’s not a bad start from the outside of the second round of the grid from John langri who is drawing himself alongside Michael nibs as they head up towards P Hill Ben for the first time he’s up the inside of Michael nibs and it looks as though we are almost three wide on the way into the corner but it is going to be Michael nibs that somehow hangs on to second place and Aiden Hills is already looking to try and get a break away from Michael nibs John Langridge and then Declan Lee who all settle into second third and fourth places respectively should be running very wide on the way out of Dru they’ll gather at the moment they will indeed poor start for Michael immediately came under pressure from the two cars behind of John language and Dean Lee Dean Lee he wanted to make it three wide he was given the option decided discretion is the better part of Val long race ahead let’s see what he can do he’s already on the coattails of John language and desperately trying to work his way up locked breaks on the running towards 30s it’s closer than ever Mark H there was a bit of a grassy moment wasn’t it for Rowan Lundy heading in towards Graham Hill Bend and that lost him one place at the wheel of the number8 car that started fifth on the grid so the speeds begin to build watch out for that Deo car of Dylan step as he continues to try and weak his way through the order he did lots of overtaking race number one off the back of the grid he looked to do lots of overtaking in this one as well will Morris side by side as well that was Brave wasn’t it around the outside at hawthor but couldn’t quite Nick the place and also bouncing over the curbs through Westfield Corner goes Declan Lee in his absolute efforts to try and get himself up into the podium spots in the early stages but John John langri is having none of that as they turn their way through Sheen curve and up towards Sterlings on lap number one yeah Dean Lee doing absolutely everything he can to work his way through past John langri having lost that place on the opening lap of the race it just shows what a brilliant start John langri got as they work their way down towards Clark curve for the first time it is still Aiden Hills leading the way and trying to uh pull away ever further Simon Fleet again he’s trying to attack he’s trying to defend I thought it was rather odd car placement on the running towards clar curve but it worked for him um for the moment Michael nibs having come under intense pressure on the opening lap of the race is just put about a car’s length maybe two cars lengths between himself and John langri Austin Lee is still well truly there still giving Chase however is uh Nicholas start somewhat out of position down in what is 10th place he lost a place on the opening lap so that’s one lap chalked into the book and I think everybody came through did they at the end of that first lap of the race yep no casualties in the early stages Nicholas start diving up the inside trying to work his way through and P will Morris but will is not going to have any of it sweeps across the nose of Nicholas stops car so Nicholas can’t gain a place and here we’ve got Connor Clifford trying to get the inside of Rowan Lundy sneaks his way through the number 14 car gains it position on the way into the corner H but may well lose it on the way out of the corner as they start to build the momentum again and run side by side down into towards Hall form yeah big big move there for um that was Rowan Lundy he’s just about managed to um I think fend off Connor Clifford we wait for them to appear in the background now Conor Clifford remains in front so a brilliant move from Conor Clifford he did it at exactly the right time he would need to but having made that move the pair of them are now slowly starting to come under pressure from the number 17 that’s will Morris he’s there all thereabout he’s just got to put a bit more pressure on a small look up the inside on the run towards Sheen and can’t quite open the door that time Aiden Hill’s still under pressure from everybody else uh Aiden Hills continuing to run away from everybody else thereafter I was looking further down the order as well and Alex Miller he’s at the moment it can’t quite spot him in there he is in 11th place the reason why um I think Nicholas St was so pressured on trying to work his way forward as he could see Alex Miller getting bigger and bigger in his rearview mirror yeah here we go Aiden Hills back over the start Finish Line the amount of daylight ever growing another new fastest lap of the race for Aiden with a 1 minute 46.54 grows the gap between himself and John langri up to now 1.8 seconds at the moment the problem is they’re all too busy squabbling behind rather than working together they’re too busy fighting for position because that’s your natural instinct you want to finish as high up as possible if they work together they might be able to possibly do something about closing up but it’s John Langridge from Michael nibs second and third place then it is going to be Declan Lee who sits there in fourth position fifth place will be the number 26 car is it not that’s there in fifth position at this stage and that will be the car of Fletcher and it’s Pern Smith who’s already taken a win so far this year Daniel perin Smith the number 73 car that’s next up he claimed a win at doning Park earlier on in the season Drew Fletcher up into fifth place he’s had a very good start to his race he’s just trying to work his way through and past Michael nibs now a small look to the inside sorry Dean Lee a small look to the inside of Michael nibs couldn’t quite pressure the move especially not at Hawthorns however Conor Clifford a big move to the inside of Rowan Lundy Unfortunately they disappear out of our sight for a brief moment are they still side by side no not this time however Rowan Lundy has still got will Morris packed up behind him a big big moment on the gravel and the grass gets it all squared away but that car was sideways to the direction of travel that allows Nicholas stop to go through who fires the car through Sheen’s curve but what a safe from will Morris Park lots of arm twirling wasn’t there to try and bring that car back under his spell and just about managed to do it so they still continue are able to fight another day and if anything he’ll still be coming under pressure from the next of the cars that was sitting behind him which is going to be Alex Miller I think the black car with a gold rollover hoop on it over the start Finish Line Here Comes John langri about to complete a further lap up to second place now Michael nibs is there in third place Dean lead not that far behind then we get the gap before we see Drew Fletcher fighting away with Daniel perin Smith just getting a quick look at what was going on further down through the order that replay of that moment as you suggested for will Morris how sideways the car got he corrected it it started to get away from him again a second correction and actually didn’t lose a great deal of time with that one but he has now I think lost a further place as Alex Miller been able to squeak his way through think in the background of the shot we might just be able to pick out as to whether he has made it stick or not no I don’t think he has no I don’t think he has I think it’s still will Morris ahead of Alex Miller it is for now will Morris so late on the breaks Dives up the inside of Nicholas start however Nicholas might just about get the cut back on the way through CS we might just about see it in the background car very very wide that is the number 17 machine of will Morris somehow again he keeps that car in a straight line orbe it maybe with a bit of cosmetic damage I don’t know whether he’s helped towards the wall there mark yeah I couldn’t quite see we only saw the tail end of it he’s lost a load of momentum as he heads down towards Hawthorne he’s also lost the right hand Wing mirror off the car he was so close to the barriers if he hasn’t got body damage he’s certainly got Wing mirror damage cuz I can see that flicking through the air and that also now means that he is blind for any overtaking was he helped off nope went off all on his own by the look of things and at a fair amount of pace bounces across the curb and yeah loses the driver’s side Wing mirror as a result of getting so close to the tie barrier Dylan stepanie what a move three wide on the rundown Pilgrim drop and then back up towards Hawthorns he forced it three wide he managed to work his way through past car number 19 that being David Chapman I think he also managed to pick the pocket of car number two John Robinson who at the moment is only going backwards towards the line comes Alex Miller Aiden Hills pardon me still in the lead of the race followed then by car number five John langri who is still under pressure from Michael nibs Dean Lee is there or thereabouts this is the battle for second place currently heading up towards Druids once again John langri is just managing the pace perfectly I’m getting the feeling that Dean Lee he’s just struggling to hold on to the tail end of that little battle but a big look up the inside that’s from Drew leer can’t quite open the door on Daniel paron Smith but joining in on that Leal battle car number 14 Conor Clifford yeah Conor Clifford gets pussing a little bit wide there does near the exit of Druids but he’s going to give it back and he’s not going to be pushed around by Drew Fletcher so he manages to get himself through in ahead of what looks like his teammate doesn’t it with very similar stripes down the center of it and if these are two teammates they were they were fighting tooth and Dale in the race earlier on weren’t they uh and are doing exactly the same again now but are both I would say driving hard but fair it’ be fair to say now our race leader Aiden Hills whilst all of this squabbling has been going on has opened up a 2.6 second Advantage between himself and this Trio heading down in towards hawthor which is John Langridge under attack from Michael nibs whilst keeping a watching brief all of the time is the green car of Dean Lee all three of them still opting just to sit behind each other as they head along the Derek Minter straight they bounce over the curbs on the way through Westfield Corner trundle their way downhill before they then start to head to the blind entry up towards Sheen curve and are they at the moment closing the gap on the race leader no they’re not no matter what they do even though they’re not fighting now they are still traveling slower than the race leader Aiden Hills yeah so Aiden is doing everything he needs to he built that Gap nice and early last time through another fastest lap of the race 1 minute 46. 535 so continuing to lap quicker than absolutely everybody out there is aen Hills still a bit of uh sort of bumping into each other very slightly on the exit of sterlings just everybody ushering each other um for what will be the final half of this race but it’s just getting closer and closer and closer you you simply can’t pick between a number of these battles and we’re seeing that pack racing uh form up once again so we’ve got the lead Pat go on Mark John Langridge Ram really wide coming round through druid’s corner and lost second place he didn’t drop to third he dropped to Fourth I think we’re going to get a quick replay of it so yeah up towards Paddock hillbend gets onto the brakes up the inside of him goes Michael nibs and that forces him out onto the dirty tarmac door is open and straight the way through goes Dean Lee thank you very much two places lost yeah forc the mistake there did Dean Lee or did Michael nibs did exactly what he needs to do so both himself and Dean Lee exactly through the same little Gap but now Dean Lee is starting to apply that pressure onto Michael nibs absolutely knows to tail as they work their way under the bridge and then down Pilgrim’s drop it would be a very optimistic place to go for a move in towards Hawthorns along the Derek M straight if you can nail the exit we could see de Lee work his way alongside but through the Woodland section of the circuit he just seems to fall away maybe not quite so confident through the through the faster Corners is definitely compared to Michael nibs at the moment you can just about see um Aiden Hills in the distance just continuing to pull away last time through not quite so quick as we’ve seen him before but the mid pack is really where we need to be watching bar it is yeah some great fights going on in the mid pack not least of which is Dylan stany at the wheel of the number 33 car who’s still fighting away with Clive Pals trying to work his way through up into what would be a 12th position so that means on this lap he’s already dispatched another car behind him which would have been the number 17 car I think that’s now back behind him once more so continually making good progress and are we going to have another Shuffle here yes we are Rowan Lundy fighting away with Alex Miller who almost got edged towards the grass there the two of them are going to be side by side as they come over the start finish line now through they’ll go this will be fighting for what will be ninth and 10th place and and Alex Miller goes through Rowan Lundy’s dropped a little bit like a stone hasn’t he he was right up there in the early stages pulled a wheel wrong at Graham Hill Bend and then from there it’s just sort of been picked off by everybody he’s really struggling yeah I think it just very slightly threw him off his rhythm um in the early stages of the race a small mistake like that car number two of John Robinson I think he’s just lost out to the uh 17 of will Morris of course will trying to recover from that um earlier incident where he was very very sideways on a couple of occasions then just scraped the wall lost a load of time but um yeah what a move from Alex Miller he just kept on pushing and and finally worked his way through and pass and as you say it was very very brave because he got Incredibly Close to the white line on the exit of clar curve yeah uh so let’s see as to what happens now with Rowan Lundy can he cling onto the coattails of Alex Miller or is he just going to drop further back from him and fall into the clutches of someone else behind well the next car behind will be the number two car and that’s quite a way behind John Robinson so probably don’t need to worry too much Rowan Lundy as for Dylan stany in the day colored car well he’s now coming under pressure by the look of things from the car that sits directly behind him and that’s going to be was that the number 19 Car David Chapman wasn’t it that is directly behind him and he’s looking to try and apply the pressure where’s that going to be four that is now going to be for something like yeah 15th position by a look of things 14th 15th position so blue flags waving to for warn our Jude Law driven car the number 20 car that the Front Runners are approaching and we’ve also had a spin and a recovery there that’s in able was it not yeah so he’s had a spin and that was coming out of Westfield out have thought that the car got away from him he had to spin down in towards the bottom of Dingle yeah I’d imagine they were everything was crossed just to make sure that um nobody would find him on the way through because that’s a very quick section of the circuit indeed the battle is still raging on between Dylan Stepney and car number 19 of David Chapman however all of that battling is just allowing cars behind to get closer I think we’ve got Simon Fleet there and we see the moment on the live stream of Ian it was um it was only a half spin through 90° just about managed to get that moment collected up and as we go back to live pictures still fighting away I think that’s Ed mcdermit was it that’s gone very very very wide indeed on the exits of Westfield rumbling through the gravel don’t know whether that was a replay or that was live pictures I’ve got a feeling that was a replay yeah it looked like it was a replay in which case he has been able to continue by the skit of his teeth I think he might have got away with that one but it did lose at least a couple of places one to Ray warley and he’s dropped down something like 24th position now as a result of that one Ed mcdermut so our race leader 3.3 seconds to the good this is another quick replay and this is Rowan Lundy all through the gravel trap at Paddock hillbend raising the dust eventually rejoins but again a raft of places lost there for him so Aiden Hills leading away quite comfortably we’ve now also so maybe got a little bit of contact have we yes we have I’m afraid and some contact out on the circuit uh and that was all to do with a couple of cars getting close to each other Dylan Stephany got away with it but unfortunately we have got David Chapman who has come together and has got now damage to the front corner of his car and Clive pows has also got damaged to the rear corner of his yeah that was a a big old moment I think somebody else may have potentially been caught up in that one as well but there was a big big lock up I think it was from Simon flee in pure avoidance managing to get rid of uh managing to keep out of that one let’s see the replay so we’ve got Dylan stepy a big dive up the inside of car number 15 of Clive Pals Clive Pals then gets collected by David Chapman on the way through and it was a big lock up from Simon Fleet he did manage to avoid it I think it was it was a massive lockup from Simon fle in avoidance of something he was rattling towards and was probably bracing for the impact but thankfully the the waters just parted in time for him didn’t they we’ still got fights going on haven’t we Michael nibs cannot shake away in second place Dean Lee who is going nowhere then just behind them is going to be John langri and John langri now is finding him s under pressure from the number 73 car of Daniel peren Smith who has been sort of quite quiet so far in this race now all of a sudden he’s building momentum and putting himself in contention at Silverstone he was one to watch he was very competitive at Silverstone indeed but um yeah a fairly quiet weekend from him so far I think he’s just about found his feet in the final what 10 minutes um only four and a half minutes remaining um for today here here at BR hatch but yeah the final 10 minutes that car has really come alive into the pit Lane naturally we have seen car number 19 that is David Chapman i’ imagine also into the pit Lane yes we do we’ve also um got actually a couple of drivers we’ve got a car going very slowly down the pit Lane as well so maybe a couple of bits that we haven’t seen Mark slightly starting to um cause a bit of an issue but the battles continue on Bruce Robson he’s now under pressure from I think that’s Charlie Char Lane yeah it is yeah Charlie Lane looking for the inside line heading up towards Hawthorne could he squeeze his way through the answer is yes is he going to get off the corner cleanly not run wide the answer is yes so good overtake that from Charlie Lane Racing for Misty racing squeezing his way through and past Bruce Robinson and the other car that was in the pit Lane is the number 28 that’s come into the pit Lane which is Jack Hodges yeah and of course we’ve got David Chapman in the pit Lane understandably as he got collected um in that little squabble as well really words being said there by um by David CH think said it wasn’t my fault I think was it yeah something like that not exactly sure but um yeah if you’re trying and lit read a race driver you’re playing a very dangerous game indeed but in terms of Michael nibs and Dean Lee they’ve been battling so hard that’s allowed John langri and Daniel par and Smith to close up so it’s gone from two for second place and two for fourth to four cars all fighting over the the final two steps on the podium and whose hands does it play into it plays into Aiden Hills the race leader Alex Miller is going to have to um just part that car up because the front right wheel is is not turning on the number seven car and that I think is yeah now come to a halt down on the inside of Graham Hill Ben so he has come to a halt there and we’ll be going no further that little quartet of cars fighting away still continues but they’re not quite as close now are they they maybe split out by another half a car L of this part of the circuit as they head round through Westfield yeah I’d say so it seems like Michael nibs is definitely the stronger of potentially all all four of them through the Woodland section of the circuit heads up driving well and truly from Alex Miller he’s not had the best weekend but I don’t know whether it was wheel bearing failure or what but immediately got that car to a safe place avoiding um any localized jells or or safety car um interference but Michael nibs all the pressure is on his shoulders because he’s not just got dein Ley he’s got John langri and Daniel peren Smith all stacked up behind him we’ve got 2 minutes and 12 seconds 2 minutes and 10 seconds still remaining Aiden Hills come towards the line there’s two laps left in this one Mark there is one to the penultimate lap of the race goes Aiden Hills then that squabble with Michael nibs still trying to Palm away the aspirations of Dean Le in the green car who sits there in third position John Langridge and Daniel paren Smith not going at it to the same degree as they had been doing a few laps ago but there’s still time there’s still opportunities there’s still a couple of laps to go so up towards the breaking area for Druids now Michael nips took a bit of a strange line I would say through Druids that time through didn’t quite get as tight to the Apex as one might have thought has it cost him a bit of time yeah maybe an extra quarter of a car length which is all that Delan Lee needs to sniff out really because he’ll know that the car head now is feeling the pressure yeah so he’s just got to keep pushing does Dean Lee see what he can do about filling the mirrors even if he has no intention of going to the move just a little wobble left a little wobble right as he’s doing now putting the car half a car width wider than it should be just to make sure that Michael nibs can see Dean Lee in his wing mirrors of course with um Alex Miller pulling over that shuels everybody up another couple of places so we’ve now got the number 17 of will Morris inside the top 10 after he’s had a a fairly a fairly crazy race because he’s had some very big moments indeed in a small rub against the wall this time dein Lee so much quicker through Hawthorns all the way along the Derek M straight he was gaining not quite so quick through Westfield that slightly drops him back into the clutches of John Langridge but I’ve got a feeling this is going to be three cars all fighting over second place because Daniel perin Smith not quite there to the same degree as we’ve seen him already yeah I think it be the run to the line not on this lap but of course on the next lap that will be the all important one Michael nibs clinging by his fingertips on to Second Place Dean Lee desperate to try and attack but he’s hugely conscious if he tries it and it doesn’t work he’s got cars queing up behind him and soon John Langridge could sneak his way through and Daniel peren Smith as well so over the start finish line now go race leader is still Aiden Hills leading by some 3.6 3.7 seconds now this quartet head on to the final lap of the race through Paddock Hill Bend start to climb uphill towards Druids any small mistake Jack and they are easy to make around the challenging circuit like BRS is going to be pounced on isn’t it yeah you can see Dean Lee has really sort of turned up the aggression now really starting to close up onto Michael nibs just getting closer and closer and closer just to force that mistake he’s not quite so quick through sector one um Aiden hills’s lead is very substantial I’ve Got a Feeling there’s more Pace left in it he’s just realized that there’s no need to push It’s the final race of the day he’s been holding his lead margin at 3.6 seconds this time Dean Lee is slightly wider entry that might better the exit Daniel peren Smith all of a sudden he’s back becoming a challenge and distracting John langri in by way of that John langage is Fallen away from Dean Lee so Dean Lee doesn’t need to sort of split his attentions 5050 he can go full attack now he is and he’s going full attack as they head up towards Hawthorne corner he jined and took a tile line in towards Hawthorne that will compromise his exit speed and we’ll drop him back away again from Michael nibs and puts him straight back into the clutches of John Langridge so they had sort of paired off a little bit hadn’t they now all of a sudden they’re all back squabbling again it will be I’m sure the run to the line that might decide this one but you’ve got got to be clean through Sheen curve you’ve got to be clean coming out of sterlings and you’ve got to make sure you get a bit of a toe up towards the start Finish Line are we going to see any shuffling in the order because they’ve been in this order for the last four or five laps despite the fact that they’ve been ridiculously close to each other Aiden Hills is on course to make it two out of two this weekend at BR hatch on the Grand Prix circuit and secure not just round five but also round six of the Miata trophy for 2024 Aiden Hills claims the win who’s going to finish in second place on the run to the line it’s just going to be Michael nibs ahead of Declan Lee and then it will be John langri from Darr Daniel paren Smith they did not change order in the end unfortunately uh finishing in sixth place it will be Connor Clifford that finishes in sixth place out of Drew Fletcher in seventh Nicholas St should come through in eighth place Rowan Lundy had a bit of a strange old race really he finishes in ninth place and compete in the top 10 will be will Morris in the end but lots of sliding around and celebrations from Aiden Hill a busy man the family run team are one of the teams to beat in the Miata Trophy and other championships in which similar cars race but Aiden Hills will be delighted with the fact that he has claimed back-to- back wins here at Bran’s hatch and has really shown a clean pair of heels to everybody the pace that he’s had right the way throughout the course of qualifying super pole race one before the red flag and race two which went thankfully green all of the way has been something that everybody will aspire to in reality so the cars making their way back in towards the pit Lane area they will pack things away and dig them all back out again on the 29th of June when they had to Donington Park on the national circuit before they head to angle SE in July then it’s snon on the 300 in August we still got some battles going on out on circuit at the moment and this is going to be Liz Watson fighting away with Gary Smith Gary Smith desperate to try and squeeze his way through and past and ahead of Liz Watson and as they head underneath the bridge is there any opportunity up towards clearways and Clark curve now I think carry is just too far away so Liz Watson should be all right to come through uh Liz Walton rather should be all right to come through and finish in 21st position and Gary Smith is going to have to put up I’m afraid with finishing in 22nd position so there’s Walton just hanging on to the position so Aiden Hills is down there in the pit Lane he looks as you would expect pleas his punch with that one and it looked as though he was very much in control of it all the way one by 4.4 seconds nearly 4 and a half seconds in the end I’m sure he could have gone quicker but just wanted to maintain that Gap so for himself and the family team a solid day’s work and yeah a punch of the air a clench of the Fist and two out of two for Aiden Hills who shortly will make his way up on towards the podium presentations where I think they’ll be presenting the trophies for both race one and race two because we didn’t get the chance to chat to and if the mayata drivers will present their trophies over the course of the day earlier on so a quick Shake of the hands to his fellow drivers on the podium to Delan Lee and to Michael nibs who are all in the process of jumping out of their car Kevin sane who I think was the first of the mark fors home as well out of his car the number 62 car in the background of the shot but for everybody else and no need for them to be in the pit Lane they all head back in towards their outer padic area and as we say pack up the kits pack the car away so let’s confirm the results then Aiden Hills claims the win by nearly five and a half four and a half seconds in the end for Michael nibs in second place Dean Lee came home to finish in third place John Langridge was fourth head of Daniel paren Smith in fifth place and
