Competed in the grand prix (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ran

'competed' is the definition.
(running is a kind of competing)

'in the grand prix' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RAN' can be found hidden inside 'grand prix'.

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Entered (a race)" , "Tore" , "Managed; operated" , "Hastened" , "Entered an election or managed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
