Race 2, and the starting grid is formed from the Race 1 results.
The Dynamics pair are both slightly slow off the line, and are passed by Sutton who takes the lead into turn one. Cook also gets ahead of Cammish into 3rd. Chilton is up into 15th and Smiley into 17th. Through Sector one, Crees runs wide onto the grass and has to drop to the back of the field. Thompson overtakes Ingram to move into 15th. Midway through the lap, Proctor has a spin and he drops back. He now takes over last place from Crees. Cammish takes 3rd place back from Cook. Completing the lap, Bushell takes 21st place from Jelley.
Lap two, and Butcher is the latest to take to the grass. With the field still being close, he drops to last before he can re-join. Ingram moves up into 14th passing Thompson. Boardley moves ahead of Morgan into 23rd. Completing the lap, Oliphant is up into 16th with Smiley dropping to 17th. Chilton puts a marker in for Fastest Lap.
Lap three, Plato gets ahead of Moffat to take 8th. His team mate M.Jackson though drops a place, falling behind Chilton into 11th. Over the line, Boardley is slow out of the last corner and drops to 25th behind Turkington and Morgan.
Lap four, and everyone looks to have settled into position. At the end of the lap though, Sutton pulls into the pits having slowed drastically. He pulls up at the garage, and the team start checking under the bonnet. Shaking of heads all around, and the engine is switched off. It looks like he’s got a terminal fault, and having been running in first, his race is over. Neal crosses the line in the lead, and has also set a new fastest lap.
Lap five, Neate and Jelley come together. Neate is turned round, and struggles to recover. He rejoins at the back of the field. Part way round the lap, Rowbottom makes a slight error and the loss of momentum allows Plato through into 6th. Jelley moves in front of Bushell into 19th. Plato makes up another place at the end of the lap, and is into 5th passing O.Jackson. Smiley is going slowly. He pulls into the pits, and is straight out of the car at the garage – race over with a loss of power.
Lap six, Thompson picks up 14th overtaking Oliphant. Rowbottom has picked up a puncture. He’s continuing, but it’s a long way back to the pits. He’s dropped back to last before he can get in and out of the pits.
Lap seven, and the Dynamics drivers swap places, with Cammish now taking the lead. Chilton and Moffat trade paint, and Moffat gets out of shape. Chilton moves through into 7th, and Hill follows past to take 8th. Jelley is just outside the points, having taken 16th from Goff.
Lap eight, and there is a bit of a melee at the back of the field. Proctor passes Thompson to take 22nd, which causes a bit of bunching just behind. Neate takes the chance to move up to 24th, with Crees dropping back. Butcher also falls to the back of the field, behind Rowbottom. Further round the lap, Plato moves up into 4th managing to squeeze by Jordan. Crees fights back and takes 24th back from Neate. Cammish has taken the chance to set a new fastest lap running in free air at the front.
Lap nine, and there is quite a lot of shuffling going on throughout the field. Jordan takes 4th back from Plato. Chilton gets ahead of O.Jackson into 6th. M.Jackson is up into 9th in front of Moffat. Thompson drops behind Oliphant into 14th. Boardley has the biggest change through, spinning onto the grass before recovering and joining back into last place. Goff manages to complete a pass on Jelley, taking 16th. O.Jackson drops a further place at the end of the lap, as Hill takes 7th. Jelley also takes 16th back from Goff as they cross the line.
Lap ten, Proctor has a moment and runs wide. As he rejoins, he makes contact with Neate and they both lose momentum. It takes them a while to gather things up, and Neate ends up last just behind Proctor. Gornall is up into the top ten, getting ahead of Moffat. Morgan is trying to get into the points, and picks up two places to move into 16th. Crees takes 20th from Turkington. Neate climbs up from the back of the field to take 26th from Proctor. As they cross the line at the end of the lap, M.Jackson has picked up 8th overtaking O.Jackson. Neate climbs another place getting ahead of Boardley into 25th.
Lap eleven, and it seems that Proctor’s issues last lap have continued. His pace has dropped dramatically, it looks like there is some damage. He pulls off and gets out of the car. Retired. O.Jackson gets back in front of M.Jackson to climb into 8th. Thompson moves up into 13th ahead of Oliphant. Goff is trying to get into the points, taking 17th from Jelley, whilst Rowbottom drops to 24th behind Butcher. Jordan moves back into a podium place, taking 3rd from Cook. Moffat gets a bit out of shape and the loss of momentum allows Ingram and Thompson through, dropping Moffat to 13th. At the end of the lap, Neate picks up 24th from Rowbottom.
Lap twelve, Moffat moves ahead of Thompson into 12th. M.Jackson out-brakes himself and is passed by Gornall who is up into 9th. Bushell and Jelley trade paint, and Bushell is able to get ahead into 18th. As they complete the lap, Boardley moves out of last place and ahead of Rowbottom.
Lap thirteen, Chilton climbs up a place to take 5th from Plato. Just a little further back, Hill drops behind O.Jackson into 8th. Butcher picks up a place, passing Hamilton to take 22nd. Morgan tries to pass Goff, and makes contact with his car. Goff suffers a puncture as a result, and has to call into the pits. He drops to the back of the field before he can get back out.
Lap fifteen, Hill and O.Jackson are battling for a place. O.Jackson ends up running off the track and struggles to keep it together on the grass. He manages to stop, and then get pointing the right way. Eventully, back onto the track, he’s dropped from 7th to 18th. With just over a lap to go, there’s a change for the lead as Neal moves ahead of Cammish. O.Jackson climbs up to 17th as he tries to recover some points. Neate passes Hamilton to take 22nd. Over the line, Butcher pulls ahead of Turkington into 20th. Boardley gets ahead of Hamilton into 23rd and Rowbottom is slow out of the last corner, allowing Goff past into 25th.
Onto the last lap. Cook gets up into a podium place, taking 3rd from Jordan. Hamilton continues to drop places at the back, falling into 25th behind Goff. Chilton follows Cook in passing Jordan. It looks like Jordan’s tyres have gone off as he is now down into 5th. As the flag drops, Jordan loses another place as Plato gets past into 5th place. Jordan dropped from 3rd to 6th on the last lap.
The final order is:
Neal, Cammish, Cook, Chilton, Plato, Jordan, Hill, Gornall, M.Jackson and Ingram rounding out the top ten.
Moffat, Thompson, Oliphant, Osborne, with Morgan in 15th.
Bushell, O.Jackson, Jelley, Crees, Butcher, Turkington, Neate, Boardley, Goff, Hamilton, Rowbottom.
DNFs – Proctor, Smiley and Sutton.
