He completed the race weekend with a record of taking fastest laps in all five races and qualifying, three firsts, a second and third place.

Smith is 48 points clear of his nearest rival with three meetings to go at Snetterton, Pembrey and Brands Hatch left to run.

Smith said: “I have had a fantastic weekend that went wholly to plan, five podiums over the weekend, three first places and a second and third with fastest lap records out of all the five races.

“It’s about getting more points between now and the last race in November at Brands Hatch.”

An excellent race weekend with results to match saw Mansfield’s Smith lead the championship with 175 points and ready to go racing again in September in the next round at Snetterton in Norfolk.
