Quattro Group British Supersport: Kennedy wins dramatic feature race

26 September 2021

Jack Kennedy doubled up on Quattro Group British Supersport wins after a dramatic end to second race saw long-lap equivalent penalties handed to Lee Johnston and Ben Currie. Launching off the line, it was Currie who took the holeshot, leading Johnston, Kennedy, Currie, Truelove, Charlie Nesbitt and Bradley Perie.

 

With no rider able to break away, the leading group were trading places throughout the opening laps. Disaster would strike Perie on lap four though when he was forced to retire. Continuing to battle throughout the race, the safety car was deployed on lap ten, just before Johnston moved into the lead, seeing him given a three second penalty for passing under safety car conditions.

 

With the race resuming with just two laps to go, it was an intense battle to the flag. However, Ben Currie has passed Kennedy before the green flag on the restart, resulting in him also given a three second penalty. This gave Kennedy the win ahead of Truelove and Scott Swan.

 

Mason Law took victory in the GP2 class after Charlie Nesbitt crashed out, with Jones and Perrin joining him on the podium.
