Race 1 In typical British fashion the weather completely changed for the first race. The heavens opened and the track was now very slippery. After some deliberation the HE Racing/ Daniels Motorsport team made there decision to stick Edward out on a complete dry set up. The track was still damp so the team had told Edward that the car would take a couple of laps to get heat into the tyres. He got away from the line cleanly and never looked back pulling nearly ten seconds in the first three laps. As the car came to him the times tumbled and the gap to second extended to 24 seconds at the end of the race.
