Round 19 - Phoenix International Raceway

The penultimate round of the Championship took place in the Arizona desert at the Phoenix International Raceway.

With no chance of winning the championship the best I could aim for out of this season was a solid top 5 finish. I did have an outside chance of a top 3 spot but I would have to have two very good results.

Practise went very well as my time of 29.500 was the fastest posted during the session.

My good form carried over into qualifying as my time of 29.512 was enough to win pole position.

In the race I was always in the top 2. I led for 45 of the 55 laps, unlike some of the previous races if I made a mistake I was content to let the cars through and then work my way back to the front.
My best lap time in the race was 29.353, my fastest lap of the weekend
.

I was now up to 4th in the standings, 424 points behind the leader.
