X30 Junior: Harry Bartle makes the difference by the skin of his teeth
Taking a lap-by-lap look at the Final could make anyone's head spin if they hadn't had the chance to follow this absolutely incredible race. Nearly a dozen drivers were capable of winning the race. Leading the first two laps, Roméo Roussel (FRA) was the first to lose places after contact. Harry Bartle (GBR), Harrison Mackie (GBR), winner of Super Heat 2, Sacha Van't Pad Bosch (NLD), Freddie Lloyd (GBR), who set the fastest lap, and Cathal Clark (GBR) were the most assiduous in taking turns in the top three. In the end, it was Bartle who appeared the most confident, handling the battles with his rivals perfectly. After 17 crazy laps, he took the chequered flag as a big winner. Van't Pad Bosch, who came in just behind after winning his Super Heat in the morning, dropped back to 18th due to a penalty, leaving Mackie and Clark flanked by Bartle on the podium in that order. Starting 11th, Tadgh Buckley finished 4th ahead of cousins Zac Green (+8) and Fred Green.
