Caterham-backed driver Weiron Tan continued on with his streak from the previous round of the series, where he won all three races, as he clinched his first race victory in the Protyre Formula Renault event at Rockingham.
The Malaysian started the race? from pole position, kept the lead off the line and, as the race went one, showed much better pace than the opposition, including second-placed Chris Middlehurst.
Middlehurst,who is now mere points away from clinching the title, had a trouble-free race behind Tan. Although Sam MacLeod was set to pick up third, he ended up retiring from the race, with Hong Wei Cao inheriting the podium place.
Jake Cook?took fourth, with Matias Galetto and Jorge Cevallos completing the top six. BRDC F4’s newfound race winner Pietro Fittipaldi took seventh, with series debutant Leo Yee picking up eighth place. The top ten was rounded out by Tom Oliphant from MGR and Matthew Rao from Hillspeed.
