Quattro Group British Supersport: Currie wins as Kennedy lifts Supersport trophy

17 October 2021

Ben Currie took victory in a dramatic final Quattro Group British Supersport win at Brands Hatch. It was Jack Kennedy who led the way at the end of the opening lap, but the 2021 Champion faced stiff competition from Bradley Perie, who moved into the lead on lap three. With neither rider able to break away, it was a four rider battle for the win as Johnston and Currie joined the fight.

 

Trading places throughout the first half of the race, disaster would strike on lap six when Perie crashed out of the lead. With nowhere else to go, Kennedy hit the Yamaha machine, forcing him to retire out of the race shortly after.

 

This left Currie to take the lead ahead of Johnston, but a red flag brought the race to a premature end on lap eight. On the restart, Currie scorched into the lead, with Law and Johnston in close contention, while Kennedy sliced his way through from the back of the grid.

 

By the final lap, Kennedy was the quickest man on track, narrowly missing out on the win by just 0.033s.
