GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Former W Series driver ABBIE EATON traded positions with Scott Fitzgerald’s UVio machine at the front during opening stints, fighting tooth-and-nail for track position before the first mandatory pit window opened.
- EATON’s Clapham North entry battled door-to-door with championship leaders as dual safety car periods compressed the field, evaporating a commanding 71-second advantage and setting up a thrilling finale.
- Team GRD overcame a 25th-place grid penalty to claim victory after Riley Phillips executed a decisive pass with 20 minutes remaining, while second-place UVio suffered post-race exclusion for weight infringement.
UPCOMING:
