AUTOSPORT Caterham Superlight Challenge title winner Graham Fennymore, of Weston-on-the-Green, put in a champion's drive in streaming wet conditions to win Friday's penultimate championship round at Brands Hatch.

Ben de Zille Butler claimed a dramatic final-race victory on Saturday to be championship runner-up.

In the R400 class, season-long rivals Jack Newland, of Bicester, and Patrick Gormley took a win apiece with the championship crown decided in Gormley's favour on the final lap of the year.

With the championship victory already in his pocket, Fennymore had no need for heroics in Friday's penultimate round, but produced them nonetheless, scything past pole-sitter Guy Harrington through Paddock on the third lap and into the lead despite atrociously wet conditions. He was never headed thereafter.

Fennymore, who claimed his sixth win of the season, said: "I like to do my own thing and lead from the front, especially in a wet race."

Harrington set fastest lap in his pursuit of Fennymore, but had no answer to an attack from de Zille Butler at Paddock Hill Bend on lap 18, de Zille Butler sweeping past Harrington to take up the cudgels and to close to within a third of a second of Fennymore by the end.

On Saturday Fennymore led once more, but he was passed by de Zille Butler with two laps to go and had to make do with second place.
