RAUTAVAARA REACHES AHEAD

Joel Rautavaara made the most of numerous spin offs and failures around him to record a comfortable victory in a classic Silverstone FFG race. From the start line, it seemed that Nathan Cornes was going to be a great chance again, but a spin into the wall at turn 1 early in the race suddenly blew it wide open, with Rautavaara on hand to steer his Apex to the front, and kept it there, leading a double British podium.
Cornes though wasn't the only one to succumb to the walls at Silverstone, with Sigoulakis, Cocks, Kederer and Utzer all following him in there, plus a raft of other spins and collisions race long. Rob Sharp retired from a good position with an engine failure, Aaron Reed similar with suspension failure.
Daniel Harvey secured his first podium since making the move to DTK, more than anything he was making the most of staying on the track, but nonetheless had the pace today for a good result regardless. He was ahead of Harry Costello, who enjoyed his third podium of the season and first since China.
Stephan Bohner was motoring in 2nd into the final stint before gaining problems and dropping to 4th with his pitstop, ahead of Laskey who had a great race for his first ever points in FFG. Brugman was sixth, while Martins, Yamaguchi, Mishra and Diehl made up the ten, the Ravenwests and JHRs enjoying a lively battle at the end of the race.
That left Takuma Ishikawa just outside the ten, marking the first time all season that Razor have failed to score a point. He led home the lapped competitors of Rinneaho, McNamara, Graham and Ana.
Rautavaara's win doesn't technically reduce Cornes' lead at all, he still leads by 67 points from Cocks, but now it is just a point further to Rautavaara in third.
Next round is from the frightening and fast Hockenheimring. Marketplace closes 10am Thursday AEDT.

yes, its always good to get a podium, however at home in front of your home fans only makes it better.

@The_Laskinator First points for you, feels good?

You're damn right it feels good, especially as it was at a home GP, with the British fans (that are arguably the best on the calendar!). I hope this wasnt just a one hit wonder and i can repeat this success later in the season!
