1) Enrico Spaggiari - Cooper T53 - 21.39.298
2) Rod Jolley - Cooper T45/51 - 21.40.016
3) Roger Wills - Cooper T51 - 21.40.540
4) Peter Horsman - Lotus 18/21 - 21.41.027
As you can see just over 1.7 secs covered the first 4. It seems that Roger was leading for much of the way but tagged a backmarker and spun before recovering to 3rd. Would be good to get driver accounts, guys.

Yes, sadly I caught a backmarker on the very last lap at Maggots / Becketts and we touched. I lost the lead and only finished on the podium due to the incredibly gentlemanly gesture of Peter Horsman who allowed me past to take 3rd. Thanks again Peter!
I feel terrible for the driver of the car I touched who unfortunately failed to finish. I hate contact and it was of course totally unintentional. One of those unfortunate incidents.
Another incredible race though and my two races in the Cooper at SC2011 are one of the highlights of the season for me so far!
