Autumn Trophy and FPA Shootout is going down to the wire

Tom Bradshaw has won round five of the Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy at Snetterton to retake the lead in the standings with just one race remaining this afternoon (Sunday).
With each drivers best two results from today's three races also counting towards the FPA Shootout, Bradshaw delivered the perfect result in his challenge to take both honours. Starting from pole, the Blackburn racer made a great getaway off the line and led until the race was red flagged after 17 laps: "It was a brilliant race for me," said Bradshaw. "It is just so slippery out there but I managed to keep it on the island and take the win."
Aaron Steele and Niall Quinn endured a race long battle with the pair swapping places on several occasions. Both drivers also recovered from spins before Steele eventually won the place with a pass on Quinn coming out of the Esses: "I had a moment," said Quinn. "Aaron managed to get back past me but it is looking really tight for the championship."
There was disappointment for front row starter Matt Hamilton, after he retired on lap one following a spin Russell Bend. A safety car was deployed on lap ten following another big off for Matt Bell - this time after he made heavy impact with the barrier at the bomb hole.
Tobias Hegewald showed his best form in FPA so far as he stormed from 14th on the grid to take fourth at the finish, which included some nice moves past FPA regulars Jack Clarke and Jolyon Palmer following the restart of the race on lap 14.
Adam Foster and Callum Holland finished in fifth and sixth respectively whilst Jack Clarke brought his car home in seventh after the Surrey driver endured an eventful race. The race was red flagged when Jolyon Palmer spun after running out of grip at the Bomb Hole. His car speared off on the outside before making contact with the barrier: "I just pushed a little too hard," said Palmer. "The rain was getting worse and I just ran out of grip. At least I can still win the Shootout!"
The final race of the Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy, incorporating the FPA Shootout, will take place 14:35 this afternoon (Sunday).
