Lee Johnston took victory in a dramatic opening Quattro Group British Supersport Sprint race at Donington Park. It was Ben Currie who grabbed the holeshot to lead McGlinchey and Johnston over the line at the end of the opening lap. However, with rider trading places throughout the early stages no one was able to break away.
Disaster would strike McGlinchey first as he crashed out on lap five, while Currie would also crash out just a few laps later. This left Johnston in the lead, who was able to hold on to take another victory. Mason Law was second overall, the first of the GP2 machines, with Scott Swann third and Charlie Nesbitt fourth. Jack Kennedy finished fifth, third in the Supersport class, while Barry Burrell completed the GP2 podium.
