Servia wins Indy Lights title

Spaniard Oriol Servia had one of the most frustrating races of his life - and emerged as Indy Lights Champion.

Nov 1, 1999, 4:27 PM

The Dorricott driver suffered a misfire from the early stages, and slipped back to 14th position having started from the front row.

Title rival, and Dorricott team-mate Casey Mears was looking good until losing his front wings in a collision three laps from home.

In one of the most exciting races of the season, the win went to Northern Ireland's Jonny Kane, who beat fellow British racer Ben Collins to the line by 0.049s.

The win, and point for pole position, moved Kane into fourth place overall and first in the rookie of the year contest.

'It's a great day for me, and I'm proud to score Team Kool Green's first race win,' said Kane.

'I was really holding on there on that final lap, but we just made it!'
