Back in 2012, I raced my Caterham for the last time, narrowly missing out on winning the championship for a second time to the formidable Brad Smith. It had been an unusual year, the grid had started out at over twenty-five competitors, but at its lowest point it had dwindled to a minimal twelve. Coming in to the last race, it was going to be a close call. Brad had had an up and down season, amusingly even flying off the grid in reverse at the start the Oulton Park round.
