Lee Johnston overcame a race-long battle with Rhys Irwin to take his second win of the weekend by a mere 0.062secs.
The Ashcourt Racing rider was under intense pressure from Irwin’s Astro JJR Suzuki from lap six as Irwin climbed up the order to second place.
On lap eight, Irwin made his first move for the lead and held it for a handful of laps but Johnston wasn’t keen to let him go. The pair continued to swap places all the way to the flag, Johnston just edging it at the flag.
Third was Tom Toparis with Jamie Perrin fourth on the second Astro JJR Suzuki and Jaimie van Sikkelerus fifth.
In GP2, yesterday’s winner Joe Collier retired on lap 22, the win going to Cameron Fraser with Harry Rowlings second and Luke Wallington third.
