Around 8:15 it gets a bit exciting. I've not been passed backwards before.

Ricky reacted quickly and remained cool under pressure and didn't stall or panic, but I am sure he is the first to admit he was pretty lucky. Great driving and reactions also shown by Karl and the Merc driver.

You can see the car in front of Ricky moving a little bit out of the way of the superfast escort of Bruce Manon, so important to hold your line when faster cars come through or at least be aware of who is around you.

I had a birds eye view of this and my heart was in my mouth and then finally breathed a sigh of relief as Ricky powered around the sweeper with the field intact.
