British F4: Joseph Smith takes victory after penalty for Langendonck in final race of the weekend

Virtuosi Racing claimed their first win of the season with Joseph Smith after Dries Van Langendonck received penalty for a collision.

The race started with chaos after the two Virtuosi drivers of Jarrett Clark and George Proudford-Nalder made contact spinning the latter off the circuit before entering the braking point of turn one. Another incident involving Tommy Harfield would end up having him almost roll before coming to a stop. A Safety Car would need to be deployed after all the chaos that occurred in the opening segment.

The race would get back underway but with Van Langendonck and Theo Palmer running off into the distance fighting all the way until the final few laps where they would make contact into Redgate forcing Palmer to go off into the gravel and out of the race. This would result in a 5 second time penalty for Langendonck which cost him the victory giving Joseph Smith the race win in the final race of the day. Ethan Jeff-Hall would finish second ahead of Scott Kin Lindblom who completes the podium. Langendonck would have to settle for fourth after the penalty but maintains his Rookie Class victory ahead of Ella Lloyd and Ethan Lennon. Jaber Alsabah would finish seventh ahead of Cole Hewetson and Adam Al Azhari while Ethan Carney completes the top ten.

The championship standings would see Langendonck leading the championship by 15 points over Smith and Jeff-Hall. Lindblom sits six points further back ahead and five points ahead of Theo Palmer who completes the top five in the standings.
