Madden on point to victory

The tight and complex course took its toll on competitors such as Cleve Ottey.

Having missed the previous round, and with a pending flight later in the day threatening his participation, Madden completed his two-lap championship run, leaving a time that turned out to be unbeatable through the rest of the event. His 2:08.56 lap time saw many attempts at being bested, only to fall to errors as the complexity of the course caught out many of the rivals. Each driver contesting the championship run left the crowd on edge, and when Cleve Ottey received a Did Not Finish, victory was assured for the by-then missing Madden. The win added another 20 points to his championship score, giving him the lead in the series. Second went to Marc-Dayne Graham, who came the closest with a 2:12.53 lap time. Completing the podium positions was Maurice Whittingham. Jaden Wright finished fourth, and Kingstonian Daren Givans continued to be a challenge for the more powerful Montegonian drivers as he took his Toyota Corolla to fifth overall.
