The Kiwi was another to demonstrate lightning-fast reflexes off the line, and powered by Georgi Dimitrov (JHR) on the run to Paddock to annex the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a comfortable gap ahead and behind, Sharp settled into a rhythm and duly brought home an 11<sup>th<\/sup> podium finish of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimitrov finished fourth, a second adrift of Sharp and a second ahead in turn of Ugo Ugochukwu (Carlin). The McLaren junior took another Rookie win in fifth overall, extending his lead-in-class over Daniel Guinchard (Argenti) to 22 points, with 25 left on offer in the season finale at 15:10 on ITV4 later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Argenti\u2019s Aiden Neate was sixth, with race one winner Joseph Loake close behind in seventh. The aforementioned Guinchard was eighth after winning out in a thrilling inter-team battle with Adam Fitzgerald, who had to settle for ninth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtuosi Racing\u2019s Edward Pearson rounded out the top ten, with Noah Lisle (JHR) triumphing over Oliver Stewart (Hitech) by three tenths of a second for 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Higgins (Fortec) enjoyed a titanic scrap around the 2.4-mile Grand Prix layout with Chris Dittmann Racing\u2019s Jack Sherwood. The position switched hands several times, but eventually it was Higgins who got the move done, taking 13<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Mavlyutov (Hitech) was next, the finishers completed by Isaac Barashi (Argenti) and Jaden Pariat (CDR), both a lap down after causing the opening lap safety car. Marcos Flack (Fortec) pitted at the end of the opening lap, and he and Ollie Gray (Carlin) were the two retirees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results remain provisional, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsl-timing.com\/file\/?f=TOCA\/2022\/224003rc2bf4.pdf\">here<\/a> to view.
