Hello and welcome to Round 5 of the 2007 FPA World Series. I'm sorry to say this round sees the smallest grid of the season so far as Muz, Pitor Borkowski and Alpha Fan have failed to show for the race. Fortunately Jon Brown has made an unexpected return to the series.

Steven Vuko lines up on pole today with Adam Sloma alongside. Peter Vuko is third with BobZee 4th, RaikkonenRules 5th and Neil Adams 6th. Then Johnny Shell, Real Illusions and Jon Brown who all failed to set a time.

It's go and Steven holds the lead from Sloma. Peter is third with RR slipping into fourth from BobZee then Shell, Brown, RI and then Adams who brings up the rear.

Lap 3-Sloma makes a move on Steven for the lead and makes it through, the Pole then builds up a lead and dissapears into the distance. Jon Brown meanwhile runs into Shell and barrell rolls. Somehow he manages to keep going minus a rear wing but he's now last.

Lap 8-Sloma has a 6 second lead over Steven Vuko. He comes up to lap Neil Adams but the Brit turns in on him knocking off the Pole's front wing. Sloma nows limps to the finish but is only 1/2 second slower than the Vuko's. Jon Brown has amasingly made it back up to 7th.

Lap 11-Peter Vuko passes Steven for 2nd and starts hunting down Sloma. RR is still in touch in 4th less than a second back. BobZee is a few seconds behind in 5th.

Lap 13-Jon Brown's right rear tyre has a punture and he is left limping to the finish.

Final Lap-Peter has caught Sloma as the pair catch RI and the struggling Jon Brown. They usev up exactly the wrong part of the track and Sloma is held up allowing Peter to pass him on the last corner. Peter wins by 1/2 second over Sloma. Steven Vuko finishes 3rd 3 secs down with RR right behind. BobZee is 5th with Johnny Shell yet again the last car on the lead lap.
