00:00 So Tommy Hallman takes the three championship points at the top of the table after the four heats.
00:06 Isak Drogba takes two, Nils Andersson takes one.
00:11 And there is the green for go. Nils Andersson gets a good launch, but Hallman pushes him outside.
00:21 Hallman takes the lead. 14 Andersson is second.
00:24 Arlin Kotelinski goes around the outside looking for position.
00:28 Oh, and Arlin Kotelinski is in trouble again.
00:31 Look at the rut over the top of the hill there. Classic.
00:35 Difficult rallycross circuit here at the Estoril.
00:38 Yellow flags are out. There is Arlin Kotelinski facing the wrong way on the track.
00:44 Suarez is in the wall as well. Suarez has just touched the wall on the outside.
00:47 That could be an opening for Turen because Suarez is yet to joker.
00:52 And Turen is only a second and a half behind Andersson.
00:55 Closing now on the back of Tommy Hallman.
00:59 What a shame for Arlin Kotelinski. That's her championship done there.
01:04 Parked at the top of the hill. She's been brilliant this year.
01:06 So has Tommy Hallman been this weekend.
01:08 Hallman takes semifinal number one. Nils Andersson joins the Fin in the finale.
01:13 Who will join the third drive? And it's Turen that gets the better of Suarez.
01:18 Green light. Great launch from Niklas Grönholm.
01:23 Isak Jokvis goes with it. They're going to go bumper to bumper, tail to tail.
01:27 And Isak Jokvis holds the line. Isak gets spin around but he holds it.
01:32 Ola Henry Steinsholz and Niklas Grönholm are into each other coming down the hill.
01:35 Steinsholz turned Niklas Grönholm sideways into turn two.
01:39 Ola Henry Steinsholz diving off into the joker at the end of this second lap.
01:45 This is to try and cover off Clara Andersson I'm sure.
01:47 There's Clara on the mainline. Steinsholz in the wall on the exit.
01:52 Oh and that's caught him with a puncture.
01:55 So Isak Jokvis has won semifinal number two. Grönholm second. Clara Andersson third.
02:05 Green for go. Isak Jokvis gets a good launch and he's trying to mix up the tactic here.
02:12 Nils Andersson goes for the inside line. 82. Jokvis comes around the outside.
02:17 Andersson gets a little over rotated but it looks like Andersson has got ahead of Isak Jokvis.
02:22 Tommy Hellman is out in front.
02:24 Jokvis is jokering on this penultimate lap.
02:28 Niklas Grönholm in the background isn't going to have enough to get ahead of the title protagonist.
02:34 And I think that's fair enough really.
02:36 Stunning performance again from the Finn and Andersson going with him.
02:40 Yeah you can sense that the title's just literally a couple of corners away.
02:44 Let's watch them go into the joker both together.
02:47 The Finnish leader Tommy Hellman. Nils Andersson. Second spot is enough for the title.
02:51 Hellman wins the race. Andersson is the champion. Isak Jokvis takes third.
02:57 For me those words feel so good. I mean we tried to look at the bigger picture all year.
03:03 It's not easy to take the right decisions all of the time but it's to have the best lowest point.
03:10 And I guess we managed to do that this season. For sure I would have liked a win here
03:15 but in the end there was no point to fight Tommy. He did a really good weekend.
03:19 He showed his pace. Hope he's getting the season for next year up sorted so we can compete again.
03:24 Well let's confirm the points after the five rounds.
03:27 Nils Andersson taking a season total to 76. Seven points clear of Isak Jokvis.
03:32 Michaela Arlen-Kotelinski in her first season with the RX2E takes third spot. Suarez four. Steinsholt five.
03:39 Then we see Philippe Tourain who ran out of luck today in sixth.
03:43 Tommy Hellman. 46 points. Two perfect scores from only two rounds. A name to watch for the future.
