Luke Jones took victory at the end of a drama-filled eight lap Quattro Group British Supersport race after race leader Ben Currie suffered technical hitch on the final lap.
Following a delay to start due to the weather, the Sprint race finally got underway shortly before 6.30pm over eight laps.
Polesitter Alastair Seeley took the lead at the start but was quickly passed by reigning champ Currie, as Luke Jones settled into third.
But Honda Racing UK’s Jack Kennedy was on a charge and by Lap Three was up to second as Seeley dropped back, eventually crashing out on lap five.
Kennedy hit the front on Lap Four and looked to have it all under control – but then he too crashed on the final lap. It looked like an easy win for Currie but drama struck as he approached the last corner and he slowed.
This gave Jones the lead as he crossed the line to take victory, closely followed by the GP2 machine of Owen Jenner – who had been running in the top five all race – as Currie limped his Oxford Products Racing Ducati across the line third, with Asher Durham fourth and Luke Stapleford fifth.
Jenner’s second place gave him the GP2 win, with his team-mate Jack Nixon taking second and Keo Walker third.
In the Cup, race long leader Mikey Hardie retired on the final lap and the win went to Charlie White, with Max Morgan second and Lynden Leatherland third.
