British F4: Raber takes race 2 victory in action-packed race

The second British F4 race of the weekend saw August Raber take victory in an event filled reverse grid race.

Raber started from pole position and started off strong with an early lead before Challenge Cup racer Tommy Harfield became a threat after fighting his way to the front passing Joel Bergström for second place. While Harfield did try on a number of occasions to get by Raber, he couldn’t quite get past the eventual race winner leaving Raber to claim victory, only being a tenth off of the now three-time race winner. Bergström drove a fairly quite race after dropping behind Harfield early on to claim the final step on the podium.

Behind the top three, Adam Al Azhari finished in 4th fighting off Leo Robinson for the position as the two had their fair share of battles on track while Rowan Campbell-Pilling, Ethan Jeff-Hall and Fionn McLaughlin fought over sixth place, running liner astern for most the race. Martin Molnár and Theo Palmer complete the top 10 after fighting throughout the race.

This left Raber leading the standings by 4 points over James Piszcyk while McLaughlin was only 2 points behind that. Molnár was also right in the championship fight as he ended race 2 only a single point off of the Rookie Cup Championship leader meaning the top 4 was only separated by 7 points heading into the final race of the day.
