It was something off a challenge for the drivers throughout the afternoon as they competed using a new tyre compound as per a recent rule change. Geoff Martin showed some rapid pace taking the honours in both heat events.

With the cars all bunched again on the restart it wasn’t long until the star graders were in play. Ryan Wright swiftly dealt a blow on Martin and Dylan Booth to move through to the front, Stewart was another who was making moves which turned out brief as he got tangled up with Booth, as he moved through to second. From his position at the head of the field Wright commanded proceedings, completing the distance to take the glory ahead of Irish Champion Matthew Stirling and Sean McFerran.
