00:00Warwick, Dean, Andrews, Westwood, Eklon and then Marco Greco.
00:07So Warwick has the front after that all-important first corner.
00:11Phil Andrews' challenge disappeared in a wheel-spinning start.
00:15Richard Dean blazed past his teammate to grab second place.
00:20Once again, though, poor Warwick has got away to a flying start
00:23and sets about opening up a gap over the people following him.
00:27Once again, that's the superpower twins, Andrews and Dean.
00:32Warwick in the lead, a couple of seconds clear of Richard Dean
00:36with Andrews, Westwood and Eklon right behind.
00:41Phil Andrews is third.
00:43Then the rest of the field come through.
00:45Mark Newman, number 26, just a little bit over-anxious.
00:49When the flags came out, the whole of Alton Park was silent.
00:53It was a certain special kind of silence.
00:56These days it's fortunately rare,
00:58but everyone who's heard it before knows what it means.
01:02Outside the Mansell-Madgwick garage,
01:03small knots of people waited for news.
01:06When it came, we wished it hadn't.
01:09Nigel Mansell, who only 24 hours before
01:11had been so full of praise and optimism for Paul Warwick,
01:14was now as completely shattered as the 3,000 paddock.
01:17Like many others, Mansell searched for a way to express his feelings
01:20and, like those others, Mansell found that there simply are no words.
01:29It was impossibly cruel that 22-year-old Paul Warwick was gone.
01:33It seemed only yesterday that he was collecting his fourth winner's garland
01:36at Brands Hatch.
01:38Hardly days before that, when he'd celebrated his first round victory
01:41here at Alton Park,
01:43the presentation made by an elder brother
01:45who could not conceal his pleasure
01:46and didn't try.
01:49Since that second sorrowful Sunday afternoon at Alton Park,
01:52much has been written and said about Paul Warwick,
01:55one of Britain's brightest rising stars.
01:57There's little to add to those tributes,
01:59except perhaps to quote the words of Mansell-Madgwick's Robert Singh.
02:03A month after the accident, he said,
02:06Not an hour passes that our thoughts do not go back to Paul's time with the team.
02:11That indelible impression of a thoroughly charming and likeable young man
02:15is Paul Warwick's greatest tribute.
02:20Inevitably, the round five win and the nine points went to Warwick,
02:24who'd led for every one of the 23 laps completed.
