OXFORD driver Paul Rees’s hopes of finishing the Formula Palmer Audi Championship with a win disappeared as he crashed out twice in the final round at Snetterton.

Having qualified in pole position, the 23-year-old led the day’s opening race until lap 15 when he ran wide and collided with Felix Rosenqvist.

Rees was off the pace in the second race, coming ninth.

In the finale, Rees and Bastian Graber were taken out at the first turn.

Rees ended the season in seventh place.
