The opening Pirelli National Superstock race at Donington Park proved an action-packed event, and it was Luke Mossey who took the victory after Tom Neave was demoted one position for passing under a yellow flag.
With a wet circuit facing the riders at the start of the race, it was Fraser Rogers who took the early race lead, but Billy McConnell and Chrissy Rouse both took turns at the front. However, as the race entered the final third of the race Mossey was able to hit the front. A fast charging Tom Neave soon closed him down though and coming into the final lap the Honda rider edged his way through, not seeing the waved yellow flag resulting in him having to drop one position. Lewis Rollo completed the podium in third.
