Newly crowned champion Ben Currie splashed to another win in the wet at Donington Park as he beat TJ Toms by 2.775secs in today’s Sprint race.
A day after taking the title, the Aussie controlled the full race from the front, as he took victory with his new number one plate emblazoned on his Oxford Products Racing Ducati.
Toms, who made a great start, stuck close to Currie for much of the race but couldn’t catch or pass him, settling instead for second and his first series podium as behind, Eunan McGlinchey stormed through from the fourth row to secure third.
Eugene McManus took fourth after a tough battle with Casey O’Gorman, who took fifth aboard the LAMI OMG Racing Yamaha.
Barry Burrell crossed the line 10th overall to take the GP2 win on the Kramer, with Harry Rowlings second and Lucca Allen third. Cameron Fraser, fifth GP2 rider across the line, clinched the class championship.
