Tristan Ovenden was absolutely flying in his Clio V6. He denied victory just a few laps from the end of the Super National final when the left rear suspension collapsed.

Former BTCC driver Warren Scott seems to have adapted to rallycross quickly. He led for most of the final and would surely have taken the win were it not for a puncture caused by contact.

Ollie O'Donovan started the final on the back row of the grid after smashing his car up in the first heat and missing heat two due to repairs. Despite a hesitant start, Ollie drove like an absolute loon and took the win in Supercars.

Some brilliant racing in the finals and even a bit of sunshine in the afternoon: can't wait for the World Championship at Lydden next month!

I will get to Lydden one day :waiting: Great pictures as always :ok:

This year is the last time that the World Championship will be at Lydden for the foreseeable future: if you are able to make it (27th/28th May) then I would urge you to go!

Its a nice little track - good seating area too, but plenty of space to wonder...
