Rhys Irwin has banked his second win of the season after holding off Ben Currie to win today’s Feature race by 0.421secs after a race-long battle.
Currie got the best start to lead for the first two laps before Irwin made the first of several passes to hit the front. The pair then stuck together for the rest of the race, swapping the lead several times before Irwin took it at the end of 16 hard-fought laps.
Behind, Tom Booth-Amos made a stunning recovery after dropping back to 22nd in the opening lap to make a move on Richard Cooper to secure third on the final lap, as Jamie Perrin took fifth.
In GP2, Cameron Fraser just beat his team-mate Harry Rowlings for the win as the pair crossed the line 12th and 13th respectively as third went to Luke Wallington.
