Winslow's race two win was also partially dictated by another first lap incident, the Astuti driver seizing the lead when Caratti ran wide onto the bridge on lap one and lost the lead he gained off the start. The Briton then fended off both Caratti and a slow-starting McFadyen in a three-car race that lasted 17 laps, hanging on to take his fifth series win and vault himself into the championship lead.
“It's been a hard month, and I'm really glad to get on the track because I didn't know if I would be able to run here or not,” an elated Winslow said following his win, ”We did the deal with Astuti to get on the circuit and it has paid off."
A pressure drive from Caratti, recovering from his mistake, netted him second and a solid haul of points, whilst McFadyen recovered to third after another slow start, but lost the championship lead in the process. Stand-out rookie Nick Percat finished fourth for Team BRM, whilst Tander found it difficult to pass and had to settle for fifth place.
Winslow, who flies home to the UK this week to serve as A1 Team GBR's rookie and reserve driver at
Brands Hatch next weekend, now leads the championship by four points over McFadyen.
"I'm hoping we can continue," Winslow admitted, "I'm now leading the championship so, hopefully, we can get some new backers on the car to continue the year and the championship assault. This is a win for all of those who have helped me in the past. It's a fantastic feeling."
In the National Class, Chris Gilmour netted a ‘perfect' weekend, taking two poles, two fastest laps and two class wins, scoring 44 points and vaulting him into the class lead. To make matters better for the Queenslander, Gilmour's main rival Lee Farrell scored zero points after a horror weekend – where he failed to finish both races.
