BEN Power celebrated his 28th birthday with two race wins in the latest round of the UK National Legends Car Championship at Brands Hatch in Kent.

The Guilsfield ace could have completed an opening day clean sweep only for a momentary lapse in concentration leading to him slowing on the penultimate lap thinking the race over.

“That was stupid. I just miscounted,” said Power. “It all started really well but then I made an absolute idiot, April Fool’s move and finished a lap early when I was in second.

“I fought back with two wins after that which were great.”

The next day’s races were plagued by rain and delays but started well for Power who took second place in heat one and fifth in heat two.

Power completed his weekend with a second place finish in the final and overall victory on points.

Power said: “The series is more open than ever, so it’s great to be at the sharp end, and enjoying some competitive battles.”
